No family should face disability alone.
We stand beside children and young people with disabilities, aged 0 to 25, and the parents and carers who love them, with practical support, inclusive training and community care in the UK and Nigeria.
A place to belong. Support that continues.
Help us raise US$5,000 for disability and family support in Nigeria, including The Bridge in Ogbomoso. From 1 to 30 November, eligible gifts through our New Africa Fund page can be matched 1:1, up to US$5,000.

We equip churches, schools and communities to welcome families, and we speak nationally to change how disability is seen.
It began with Abigail.
In 2010, a medical error left 18-month-old Abigail with a brain injury. Her family spent the next decade in hospital rooms and community halls, learning how to fight for a child the system overlooked.
Abigail defied every prognosis until her passing in 2024. Her courage is the reason OAKonsult exists, and her legacy guides everything we do, so that no family walks this path alone.
Disability is not the end. It is a new beginning. With faith, we have seen lives transformed.
What families tell us.
OAKonsult showed me the power of commitment and consistency. These are principles I now apply in every part of my life, from caring for my daughter to speaking up for inclusion.
Amy, parent carer, Bromley, UK
The course was a true eye-opener. It challenged me to see ability in every disability, and to become more intentional about serving and advocating for people with disabilities and their families.
