What are DIAL groups?

DIAL groups are Disability Information and Advice Line services (DIALs) run by and for disabled people. Every year, the network of DIALs helps around half a million disabled people.
DIAL information and advice services are based throughout England and Wales. They provide information and advice to disabled people and others on all aspects of living with disability.

Information and advice

DIAL groups give information and advice on
· welfare benefits
· community care
· equipment
· independent living
· mobility and transport
· discrimination
· holidays and much more
Many local DIAL centres rely on a team of trained volunteers to provide high-quality information and advice. The majority of the volunteers and the paid staff in DIALs are disabled people themselves and understand the needs of disabled people.
