METRO GAD

Formerly Greenwich Association of Disabled People, METRO GAD offers advice and information, advocacy and volunteering opportunities for disabled people in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

I found METRO when I was in desperate need of help...[the support] tripled the benefits in terms of what I was entitled to. [I] feel a lot more stable than I did because of the help. Information I have received has been second to none, with high-quality advice from METRO GAD.

Do you live, work, or study in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, identify as disabled, and are 18 or over? If so, why not become a METRO GAD member? Or, if you know someone who lives, works, or studies in Greenwich, is disabled and over 18 years old: you should tell them about becoming a METRO GAD member!
