About Through the Roof
Through the Roof is a Christian disability ministry working in partnership with churches and other organisations to promote access and inclusion of disabled people in every area of church life. This meets our objective to make the Christian message accessible to people affected by disability. To achieve this we have a variety of projects, both in the UK and overseas, to encourage churches to be inclusive of disabled people and their families.
In the UK we provide information, resource and training for churches on accessibility issues, including compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act.
Our programme Disabled Christians Fellowship provides fellowship for disabled Christians, through running accessible holidays, supporting local branches and providing inspirational tapes.
Overseas, our programme Wheels for the World distributes wheelchairs, refurbished in UK prisons, to people in developing countries in partnership with local churches and other organisations.
Our new programme ‘Integr8′ wants young disabled people to achieve their full God-given potential. Follow this link to learn more about Integr8.
Why are we called Through the Roof?
The Bible tells a story of four men who took a paralysed man to Jesus. They couldn’t get in the room and lowered him through the roof. It was the partnership between disabled and non-disabled people that made it possible for that man to meet Jesus. Through the Roof seeks to work in partnership with disabled and non-disabled people to make the Gospel accessible.
