Physical Disabilities and Sensory Needs Partnership Board

Reading Physical Disability and Sensory Needs Partnership Board (PDSNPB) aims to promote independence and improve the quality of life of people with physical disabilities & sensory needs locally and their carers by developing services in line with their needs.

Members of the Reading Physical Disability and Sensory Needs Partnership Board include Service Users, Carers, representatives from Voluntary Organisations and the Education Sector, Reading Borough Council (Elected Member and officers) and representatives from Reading Primary Care Trust.

If you are physically disabled or have a sensory impairment or are a carer of anyone who is affected OR if you are passionate about making a difference for these groups, regardless of your age we would like to hear from you to become a member.

The Partnership Board meets approximately four times per year for core group meetings but in addition the Board organises annual conferences usually in February/March and will in the future be holding smaller focussed meetings covering specialist topics.

If you are interested in finding out more information about the Partnership board or would like to talk to one of the members about our work please use the Contact this Service Link.
