The Leonard Cheshire Foundation is the leading charity provider of care and support to people with physical and learning disabilities, both in the UK, and in more than 50 countries around the world, covering more than 11,000 people with disabilities. It works in partnership with people with a wider range of disabilities than any other charity. For more than 50 years its services have enabled people with disabilities to lead more fulfilling lives.

Leonard Cheshire is committed to developing new ways of creating opportunities for disabled people to allow them to gain greater independence and self-determination. It helps people gain access to education and employment. Leonard Cheshire Workability is a flagship project that addresses the issue of young disabled people and their exclusion from the UK workforce. By providing 10,000 young disabled people across the UK with training and a free computer, the technology to enable them to compete for jobs, Leonard Cheshire hopes to help young disabled people to overcome the barriers they may face in entering into, or retaining, work.
