•Aim 1 - To work with individual disabled people to support them to be independent, to seek employment and develop their careers. •Aim 2 - To work with employers, providers and other agencies involved in the labour market to promote best practice in all aspects of recruitment, retention and progression. •Aim 3 - To tackle the barriers and discriminatory policies and practices which disadvantage disabled people in the economy, society and the labour market. •Aim 4 - To ensure our organisation demonstrates excellent practice through good governance, strong management and continuous improvement. •Aim 5 - To ensure Breakthrough UK policy and operational activities are recognised as leading edge at local, national & international levels. •Aim 6 - To explore, develop and promote the concept of Independent Living in a diverse cultural context.
