Disability Archive UK aims to provide disabled people, students and scholars access to the writings of those disability activists, writers and allies whose work may no longer be easily accessible in the public domain.
Jobs not Charity links to a research project carried out in partnership between the University of Sheffield, Breakthrough UK Ltd and GMCDP. The project examined disabled people's experiences of employment, and the work of organisations of disabled people to promote the employment opportunities of disabled people. The website includes a number of downloadable resources relevant to the project. The final research report can also be found on our publications page.
Disability Association Newsletters are provided to Breakthrough's Independent Employment Advocacy Centre as an information resource by the Research Institute for Health and Social Change (RIHSC), Manchester Metropolitan University, in association with the Disability Studies Association.
How Disabled People Manage in the Workplace is a summary of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation funded report 'Thriving and Surviving' from Breakthrough UK and others. It looks at the strategies disabled people use to hold down jobs.
