This
is the website of City Disabilities, a charity with a strong social
conscience dedicated to supporting students, graduates, and
professionals in London who have disabilities or long-term medical
conditions that affect their working lives. Established by Robert
Hunter, a solicitor who is profoundly deaf, City Disabilities was
founded in 2014 with a mission to help individuals
overcome the challenges and prejudices they may encounter in their
careers and to promote diversity and inclusion within the City.
City
Disabilities offers a complimentary mentoring scheme specifically
designed for students and professionals with disabilities. The
mentors, who either have disabilities themselves or are experienced
in supporting colleagues with disabilities, provide invaluable
guidance. Whether you are a student
or a graduate with a disability or a long-term medical condition,
regardless of where you study, their aim is to help you enter the
profession with confidence. The mentors come from a diverse range of
fields, including law, finance, media, and academia, offering you a
wealth of knowledge and experience to draw upon.
In
addition to mentoring, City Disabilities works closely with employers
to improve disability awareness in the workplace. They offer training
sessions and talks to help organisations create more inclusive
environments, ensuring that you can thrive in a supportive
professional setting.
What sets City Disabilities apart is its
complete independence. They neither endorse nor blacklist employers,
they do not charge for their services, nor do they accept external
donations. Their sole focus is on supporting professionals and
students ensuring they receive unbiased and dedicated
support.
On this website, you will have access to a variety of
mentors, resources, podcasts, and the latest news, all geared towards
helping you succeed.
In summary, City Disabilities is committed
to making a positive impact by fostering understanding and support
within the professional community. By engaging with this website, you
will gain access to experienced mentors, valuable resources, and
opportunities for both personal and professional growth, all within
an inclusive and welcoming environment.
