Since 1959 the Disabled Christians Fellowship in the UK has been changing the lives of disabled Christians through the support and fellowship it provides for disabled people. Folk continue to come to faith and trust in Christ through its ministry and by knowing the love and care of other Christians.

DCF branches throughout Britain provide fellowship and support for people with a wide range of disabilities. Some are closely associated with a local church, but most are non-denominational, serving disabled Christians from a variety of local churches.

Typically, a branch meeting involves worship, a Christian message, prayer and, of course, a chat with a cup of tea and cake. Helpers are gathered from local churches, and branches can sometimes provide transport to and from the meeting when required. The branches also seek to reach out into the community, educating churches about disability and access issues and are a positive way of serving disabled people and integrating them into church life
