About Well Adapt
Well Adapt is a disabled led non-profit that aims to transform the health system so that it better serves disabled and chronically ill people.Â
Disabled and chronically ill people face disproportionate inequalities in healthcare with many of us feeling completely disillusioned with and abandoned by the system that is supposed to support us. The inequality gets worse for those of us with intersecting marginalisations such as race, gender, class, and sexuality.
Well Adapt works with policymakers, healthcare providers, and communities to build health and social care systems co-produced by disabled and chronically ill people and grounded in disability justice.
We are forming our first ever advisory board to help us chart our course forward so that we can make a greater impact on healthcare policy.
Role Details
The Advisory Board as a collective will be responsible for:
- Attending online board meetings every three months (there may be optional in person meetings)
- Helping guide the strategic direction of the organisation
- Setting and maintaining vision, mission, and values
- Maintaining financial oversight of the organisation
- Championing our work and helping build relationships that strengthen our work
