A woman with blond hair in a ponytail kisses a young girl, seated in a wicker chair, on the head. The girl, wearing a unicorn shirt and yellow pants, smiles slightly. They sit outside next to a wooden fence. The woman holds a pink jacket over her lap.

Our story

We were founded by families who shared a common experience – being a family with a disabled child.

Our approach

We follow a social model of disability, focusing on aspects of society and not by any physical or learning impairment.

Our approach
Two people are sitting in an office setting. One person with braided hair and glasses is wearing a headset and a blue top, looking at the other person. The second person, with shoulder-length dark hair, is facing away from the camera. Books are on a shelf nearby.

Equity, diversity & inclusion

We are all committed to Contact becoming a truly inclusive organisation.
