Welcome to Real
Real is a Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisation (DDPO) run by, and working for, Disabled people in Tower Hamlets and across London.
We empower Disabled people to have real choices – through independent advocacy, and support that strengthens rights, equality and independence.
We work with our community, local partners, and decision-makers to break down barriers, challenge discrimination, and create a more inclusive borough where Disabled and non-Disabled people can lead their best lives.
We campaign for better rights, accessibility, benefits, quality of life and economic opportunities for Disabled people.

Real Support
Real offers a wide range of one-to-one support. Drawing on our own lived experiences of disability, we will ensure that the solutions we suggest are meaningful and effective for your specific circumstances. Our aim is to enhance your well-being. We all want to live an independent life and to do the things we love. Benefits, public services, and other things can help to pave the way. But for many of us these are designed in a way that often exclude us. That’s where we come in.
