For many disabled adults, the barriers they face aren’t just physical. They’re the quiet ones; loneliness, lack of confidence, feeling unseen or excluded

Who Are We?
Founded in 1986 by Leonard Cheshire and Sue Ryder, Enrych was built on a simple but powerful belief: disabled people should be able to take part in everyday life, on their own terms. Today, that belief still drives everything we do.
