A New International Movement towards disability and development
Working towards improving the lives of people with disabilities
The Cheshire Global Alliance is one of the largest pan-disability networks in the world united by a shared history and a desire to change attitudes towards disability.
In 1955, our founder Lord Leonard Cheshire travelled to India and inspired the set-up of the first Cheshire organization outside of the UK. Over 60 years later, our founder's legacy spurred the establishment of 200 organizations across 54 countries sharing similar values and goals.
The Cheshire Global Alliance is one of the largest networks of independent organisations dedicated to the promotion of disability rights. Working collaboratively, Global Alliance member's knowledge and expertise of the disability-inclusion is playing an increasingly significant role in how the disability issues are portrayed in the international context.
We are an equal member of the Global Alliance and has no authority or supervisory function over the Cheshire organisations. Each Cheshire Organisation has its own independent governance structure and invidual NGO status and is embedded and supported through local structures and communities.
The Cheshire Global Alliance is supported by a secretariat hosted by Leonard Cheshire Canada. The secretariat helps the alliance to share learning and good practice.
Global Alliance members in each country are usually organised in national councils at country level and in regional councils accross seven regions:
The international steering committee, often referred to as the Global Alliance Council, meets annual to progress the Vision and comprises all Regional Chairs and the Global Alliance Secretariat.
