Disability United is a new consortium formed to represent the corporate fundraising
efforts of the UK’s leading disability charities – Action for Blind People, Leonard
Cheshire, Mencap and MS Society.
The consortium has been created so that the four
charities can offer the benefits of their shared expertise to companies. From a 
corporate perspective there is the additional benefit of knowing that a single campaign
will support four charities, enabling a company’s involvement to have greater impact.

Speaking on behalf of Disability United, Leonard Cheshire director of fundraising,
Assaf Admoni says; “Each charity has its own specific aims – yet we all share one
common objective – providing support to disabled people. I like to think of the 
consortium as the ‘Fab Four’ of fundraising and I’m confident that this common approach
will yield very positive results.”
