* To save room on the page we use the term disabled to indicate those with disabilities, special need or a medical condition.

Search by condition

You can search for people by condition, simply enter the name or acronym of a medical condition in the box below and click 'find now' to see how many people we have listed against it. You will then be able to narrow down your search, say by age or gender, if required. Results will be grouped by location and if we can't find a condition that exactly matches what you enter we will give you a list of the closest matches to choose from.

condition:  

A full list of all conditions is available in either alphabetical or hierarchical forms. Note that there are over 2000 conditions and these lists may take a few seconds to display

You don't have to enter the full name of the condition, abbreviations, parts of the name & wildcards (*) are acceptable.

Search by location

Use this form to search for people in the same area as you. When listing results we will group people by the conditions they are listed under. Because members can be listed against up to five conditions you may find members listed more than once in the results of this search (once for each condition). Once the results are shown you will be able to narrow your search by other criteria.

You should note that this search will be restricted by whatever members have indicated as their location and it is possible that members have decided not to give that information when they registered - thus those members will not be included in results here.

Search by locationback to top

Select the location you want to search on and click 'find now'. Where the location says 'incl. sub-locations' it means that your search will include all of the locations within the one you pick. e.g. Picking England (incl. sub-locations) will show you members anywhere within England.

Search by other criteria

Use this form to search for people by details other than condition or location. in the same area as you. For example, you can use this to find grandparents or disabled adults or perhaps families with more than one disabled child.
