ADD's policy
ADD has 8 offices and works in 11 countries with 133 staff (113 overseas, 20 UK), 48% of our staff are disabled people. ADD promotes a positive action policy to help us realise our target of at least 50% women and 50% disabled people in our workforce and governing body. Of our current eight trustees, four are disabled people and four are women. The board also includes three members who are from Africa and Asia.
We usually appoint nationals in the countries in which we work and we do not send volunteers overseas.
The UK's Department for International Development supports the volunteering scheme Platform2.
Platform2 offers young adults (18-25) from less advantaged backgrounds the opportunity to live, work and learn about life in poorer countries.
