First of all – who are we?
Undressing Disability is a campaign by Enhance the UK. Our campaign is dedicated to raising and improving the standards and awareness of sexual health for people with disabilities.

Living with a disability can be an isolating experience. Alongside any physical barriers, there continues to be a significant amount of prejudice towards disability within society.
Many people mistakenly believe that disabled people can’t, don’t, or won’t engage in sexual activity. This is simply not true – we’re all sexual beings. However, this stigma is often internalised by disabled people, leading to self-esteem and confidence issues.
Disability can have a significant impact on someone’s sex life, but it seems like not many people are out there wanting to talk about it. Our mission here is to improve sexual health standards and awareness for disabled people. We want to ensure they have access to fulfilling sex, dating, and relationship lives that all of us deserve.

Why volunteer or fundraise for us?
Your fundraising and volunteering efforts are vital in keeping our campaign going. We’re a small charity, so the impact of your support is substantial. Your support goes towards:
- Keeping our free services ongoing (we cannot do this without funding coming in)
- Providing services that are vital to disabled people who need help or might feel lonely
- Helping us to reach more disabled people who need our services
We’d be remiss not to point out that choosing to support us through volunteering or fundraising delivers on the feel-good factor. It’s also a lot of fun!
