Harrow Association of Disabled People (HAD) has been championing the rights of disabled people since 1972. What began as a small grassroots movement has grown into a vital community organisation supporting disabled people across Harrow and beyond. We are a pan-impairment organisation—serving people with a wide range of impairments—but we remain the only dedicated service in Harrow specifically supporting those with physical disabilities.

What We Do

HAD delivers high-quality, person-centred services that empower disabled people to live independently and with dignity. Our work is shaped by lived experience, and we’re proud to support people at every stage of life.

Our core services include:

• Information, Advice & Advocacy. Clear, accessible guidance on disability rights, welfare benefits, independent living, and local support services.

• Independent Living Support. Services that enable people to take control of their lives—from managing personal care to housing and mobility solutions.

• Access & Inclusion Support. Helping individuals and organisations make spaces and services more accessible and inclusive.

• Peer Support & Community Engagement. Opportunities to connect with others, reduce isolation, and build confidence through shared experience.
