about

Able was founded in 2006 by a group of volunteers passionate about improving the everyday lives of those living with a disability. Starting as a radio station, the enterprise grew rapidly through demand and now plays a pivotal role within the community. 


We are believed to be the first Radio Station run by people with Learning Disabilities and Neurodiverse conditions in the world! 
 

Beyond on-air broadcasts, we have developed a range of offerings which are designed to be personalised and tailored to each individual's needs.

​

Our facilities include; two changing facilities (with overhead hoists), sensory room, therapy suite, sensory radio studios, ILS kitchen, podcast room, media hub, ILS zone, quiet rooms, poly tunnels and a woodwork shop. 

​

At Able all our staff are trained to the highest standards, offering support and personal care.

Able aims to assist each individual in developing their sense of purpose and individuality by providing an enhanced person-centred approach.

Our Mission

our mission.

We strongly believe in the limitless potential of every single individual, therefore, our mission is to help our participants develop existing skills for personal growth, build confidence and develop friendships and live a more a more independent life.

 

We do this through dynamic, forward thinking, co-produced activities and skill-sessions that encourage each individual to engage with the community around them. Able has support people into employment, internships and volunteering placements across south wales
