Who we are
The Disability Foundation (TDF) is a registered charity offering heavily subsidised complementary therapies to disabled people, anyone suffering with a chronic health issue or medical condition as well as those involved in their care (paid and unpaid carers, close family members, NHS staff etc).
We are a unique organisation because not only do we have no age, religious or ethnic barrier, our therapies are available to a vast range of disability/health issues. We are a dedicated team of compassionate professionals who treat everyone with individual care.
TDF believes that by using holistic and natural approaches alongside conventional medicine, quality of life is enhanced, pain can be relieved and well-being promoted.
We are based within the RNOH in Stanmore, Middlesex.
We offer 15 various complementary therapies, we have 5 treatment rooms at our centre and a very kind, compassionate and caring team of therapists and administrative staff. For more information on our therapies click on the link below to view our complementary therapy pages.

Our history and founder
The Disability Foundation (TDF) was founded by Julie Fernandez whose ambition was to create a centre that catered for all forms of disability irrespective of age, gender, religion and financial status. With this in mind Julie approached Janet Desmond and with the first donation from Richard Desmond, Janet and Julie set up TDF as a limited company and registered charity in 1998 gaining its charitable status in 1999.
