Bromley Experts by Experience (X by X Bromley) is a Deaf and Disabled Peoples Organisation (DDPO), run by and for Deaf and Disabled people and carers in Bromley and neighbouring Boroughs. 100% of our trustees, staff and volunteers have lived experience of Disability. We provide support to challenge barriers to inclusion and independence, develop skills and confidence, understand and exercise rights and get voices heard to influence change locally. We work within the Social Model of Disability and are open to everyone in Bromley and neighbouring Boroughs who experience disabling societal barriers, including those with physical impairments, sensory impairments, mental health conditions, learning difficulties and disabilities, long-term health conditions, invisible impairments, who are neurodivergent and family and friend carers of Disabled people.
We run peer led Forums around mental health, accessibility and independent living to explore how to challenge barriers, develop ways to influence local services and steer our local campaigns. We facilitate monthly Coffee and Chat afternoons to develop peer support connections, with optional fun and creative activities. We deliver annual Disability Pride events to showcase Disabled talent, to help break down the stigma attached to Disability and to develop collective pride. We offer supported volunteering opportunities to expand individuals skills, confidence and experience to help them reach their full potential.
