Welcome to AGL Skills

At AGL Skills, we believe that people from marginalised communities deserve more than just a seat at the table, they deserve platforms shaped with them, for them, and by them. Our work is grounded in lived experience and collective action, drawing on decades of progress led by Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs), which since the 1980s have championed independence, choice, and control across the UK. 

While meaningful strides have been made, particularly in areas such as direct payments and person-centred approaches, we know that systemic inequality remains. Disabled people and other marginalised groups continue to face exclusion, underrepresentation, and long-term economic disadvantage. 

AGL Skills exists to help change that reality. We work alongside DPOs and community-led organisations and people to develop innovative, inclusive training that goes beyond advocacy. Our focus is on building skills, confidence, and opportunities that lead to real economic empowerment, sustainable change, and a fairer future for all.
