| Description | Grant file containing correspondence, minutes, agendas, grant overviews, accounts, bulletins, project proposals and funding requests relating to Action on Disability and Development (ADD). Funding source(s): Barrow Cadbury Trust, Barrow and Geraldine S. Cadbury Trust, Disability Programme. Applicant overview: ADD was founded in 1985 and is the only UK development organisation working with groups of disabled people to support their human rights and development efforts. ADD has a vision of a world where all disabled people are able to participate as fully as they choose to at every level of society. ADD works with self-help groups of disabled people in some of the poorest communities in the world so they become more effective in helping themselves and gain the strength they need to face discrimination. The ADD Influence and Advocacy Programme (IAP) was established to use advocacy and influence to increase the range of development assistance to disabled people in Africa and Asia towards achieving their equal integration into society. Nature of support: In 1992 the Trust approved a single grant of £3,750 towards training costs for severely disabled members of staff. In 1993 the Trust agreed to three annual grants of £10,000 for a programme of self-help projects in Uganda and Bangladesh. In 1994 the Trust approved an immediate £5,000 towards training development in Cambodia and a further £10,000 for 1995/1996. In 1996 the Trust approved two annual grants of £20,000 to ADD operations on the advice of Disability Programme Relevant Trustees. In 1997 three further grants of £20,000 were approved. Three further grants were approved at the same level in 2000.
