DCIL Membership
Any disabled person who develops an interest in the aims of DCIL and the Disabled Peoples movement can join DCIL as a member. By becoming a member of DCIL you lend your support to our work in promoting the full participation of Disabled People in the mainstream of life in Derbyshire and Derby.
A disabled person who is a member of DCIL can vote at our Annual General Meeting, can nominate (or be nominated!) for election to become a member of our General Council and so have an influence on the direction of the organisation.
Non-disabled people, groups and organisations can also join DCIL as affiliate Members and lend support to their local organisation of disabled people.
DCIL's Membership and Volunteer development officers support the active participation of members in all aspects of their local communities. Members can get involved in DCIL Local Member Groups, and from there participate in local project and campaigns. Members represent DCIL and disabled peoples views on a number of forums and groups throughout the County. Members and volunteers are also involved in administration, information provision, Braille transcription, as Counsellors, as trainers, and in many other roles.
