Stories of ability
Real members, real outcomes. We publish names and faces only with consent - dignity first, always.
CTAPD on air
Our team sat down with a local radio station to talk about disability, dignity and the work we do across Cape Town. Watch the conversation:

Members travelling to the Outeniqua Chair Challenge. Real CTAPD photograph.
She came on crutches. Her chair stayed home.
One of our members owns a motorised wheelchair - her independence, her speed, her way of being in the world. But no vehicle we have can carry it. So when forum meetings come around, she leaves the chair at home and arrives on crutches, slowly, in pain, having decided it was worth it.
She should not have to make that trade. That is why we are campaigning for a ten-vehicle fleet, four of them wheelchair-accessible with hydraulic lifts. When the first one arrives, she will ride to her own meeting in her own chair.

Working stories
See moments from our work - and below, the campaigns behind them.
Relief that knocks first
Buckets of Hope parcels arrive with a social worker attached. The groceries help that week; the visit changes the month.
Du Noon grows its own
Spinach, onions and an income - planted, tended and sold by members with disabilities in their own community.
The day the city rides with us
The Wheelchair Fun Ride fills Cape Town's streets with our wheels - sport, noise and belonging, once a year, loudly.

A new story publishes every month once consents are in place - that is a commitment, not a hope. See what else is moving.
