Help Us

Skill is an independent national charity.

We rely on the generosity of grant-making trusts, companies, government grants and individual donors to maintain our free information and advice services.

For example, it costs on average:

£5 every week to post out free information to disabled enquirers
£20 to respond to a complex helpline enquiry
£40 per hour to update the Skill website
£2,000 to update an information booklet

Skill's vital work

Disabled people today still face financial, physical, attitudinal and cultural barriers to education, work experience, volunteering and employment. We need your support to continue our advice services and promotion of good policy and best practice across the UK.
