The Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People (GMCDP) works to promote the independence and integration of disabled people in society, to identify and challenge the discrimination faced by disabled people, to encourage and support the self-organisation of disabled people, and to ensure disabled people have equal rights in society and in access to opportunities.
