Introduction
We are a modern, vibrant NGO which strives to deliver an equal society for every citizen. For us, an equal society
means everyone has the right to live independently in the community of their choice, where they can access their
human rights to participate as active and respected citizens through work, friends, and relationships. We
believe that an equal society is realised when all of the assets of every individual are fully utilised.
The organisation
Founded in 1954, Enable has been supporting people to live independently in the community of their choice for more
than 7 decades. By driving excellence in social care, innovating in employability, and leading ground-breaking
campaigns led by our self-advocates, we have established ourselves as one of the country’s leading NGOs and
largest employers, championing diversity, equity and inclusion.
We are a NGO and social business that ‘demonstrate by doing’; driving change locally, nationally and internationally
through our impact and influence. For example, our CEO is Vice President of the European Association of Support
Providers for Persons with Disabilities (EASPD).
Our vision is an equal society where everyone has the right to live, work and participate as active and respected
citizens in the communities of their choice.
Our mission is to deliver human rights-driven self-directed social care and employment opportunities, and to build
inclusive communities.
Enable is one of the largest, most impactful and innovative NGOs in the UK with international reach and relevance,
led by CEO Theresa Shearer FRSE. It consists of three operating pillars: Enable Cares, Enable Works and Enable
Communities, supporting over 15,000 people to live, work and contribute as active citizens within local
communities across the country, and beyond.
Enable Cares, led by Mari Galletly, supports over 1,000 people to live independently in the community through our
pioneering PA (Personal Assistant) Model of human rights-driven self-directed support. The PA Model is
internationally recognised as a scalable and transferable best practice model of social care and support,
winning the 2023 Award for Social Innovation from the European Association of Support providers for Persons with
Disabilities (EASPD).
