The Citizens Trust forms part of the Disability Times Trust (DTT), a registered charity in the form of a company limited by guarantee. It was founded in February 1996 with the involvement of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO).
The organisation's primary objectives are to provide training, information and counselling for disabled and disadvantaged people. It has an excellent reputation for providing a caring atmosphere, in which even the most vulnerable participants achieve success.
DTT is chaired by the Rt. Hon Lord Morris of Manchester AO QSO who, as the first Minister for Disabled People in the UK, sets the standards of care typified by the very professional nature of the organisation.
The Citizens Trust has a history that underlines its growing success in delivering a wide range of Employment Rehabilitation programmes. As Disability Times Trust, it concentrated solely on much-needed quality provision for disabled people.
As its professional and dedicated team grew, so did the realisation of the need for similar services for members of other disadvantaged sections of the community. As The Citizens Trust, the organisation now delivers a variety of programmes to support the needs of disabled and disadvantaged people.
