Disabled people and their carers need access to information about specific services, rights, research, and support networks. They also have a right to receive general information presented in ways which acknowledge and accommodate their individual disability.
Oldham Disability Alliance is a voluntary sector organisation committed to identifying where these needs lie, and striving to meet those needs. Oldham Disability Alliance pursues this aim through advocacy, and awareness-raising, participation on planning forums to keep disability issues in the forefront of strategic planning, through design and production of original information media, and through partnership with other agencies that provide support for disabled people, or provide services that disabled people may want to access.

Many young people are caring for, or helping to care for a parent, brother, sister, or relative who is some way disabled. The Young Carers Project aims to recognise and support children with caring responsibilities (up to the age of 18), by offering individual counselling, advocacy, advice and information, group social activities, and workshops. The project aims to raise public awareness about the particular needs of children with responsibilities.
