Welcome to the

Hampshire Coalition of Disabled People

The Hampshire Coalition of Disabled People (HCODP) is an umbrella organisation for many groups of Disabled People in Hampshire (that is groups controlled by Disabled People).

The fact of HCODP, and its member organisations, being controlled by Disabled People, is crucial to our endorsement of the Social Model of disability.

This is centred around the impairment and disability distinction and the idea of disability being socially created, we maintain that Disabled People are not a 'problem' - rather that the 'problem' is the way society is organised. Disabled People are people, like anyone else.

We aim to generally raise their profile, particularly in relation to issues directly affecting their lives.

Why not visit HCoDP's one-stop-shop of equipment and information to promote independent living for Disabled and Older People, which includes a tool to self-assess for equipment ?

www.equipmentdirect.org.uk is a unique resource managed by Hampshire Coalition of Disabled People.  It is free for individuals to use, wherever you live, and local adult service departments have the option to licence the facility for their residents to self-refer directly, or request that an issued piece of equipment be picked up.

If your would like the option to refer yourself or arrange to return a piece of equipment electronically to your local adult services, but this option is not yet available in your area, let us know and we will get in touch with them and pass on your views.

To tell us what you think of Equipmentdirect.org.uk please email us at admin@hcodp.co.uk.
