About us
Lublin Forum of the Organizations for the Disabled People – Voivodeship Seym is an association of organizations working for the disabled within the territory of Lublin Voivodeship. We have been operating since 1994, and in 2004 we gained the status of a Public Benefit Institution. Currently we gather 46 NGOs.
We are an autonomous and independent association from the state administration bodies, bodies of local self-government and political organizations.
Our mission is to integrate communities and organizations of disabled people and to promote their business. Through various initiatives we support the development of self-help organizations and popularise the idea of cooperation between these organizations home and abroad (France, Great Britain, Slovenia, Belarus, Ukraine).
