Since 1992, Barnardo's Apna Project has offered a wide range of support to Asian families who have a disabled child living in the south side of Glasgow. Apna is the only service of its kind in the whole of Scotland and it offers a lifeline to the local Asian community. The project tackles all the disadvantages faced by families who have a disabled child and enables local Asian children to play a fuller part in their local community.  

Our aims are:  

• to improve the access local Asian families currently have to existing services in the city
• to be instrumental in changing existing provision and creating new services which are responsive to cultural needs
• to ensure that Asian children and young people who have a disability have the opportunity to take part in social and leisure activities.
