People In Motion

…opening doors today to create a better tomorrow for people with disabilities by

• building awareness
• expanding opportunities and
• providing support

through programs and services that respect diversity and independence

Our mandate is to provide support and assistance, to the best of our ability, to any person with a disability, however we do have a special interest and expertise in those with physical disabilities. We are committed to working in partnership with other service providers to meet the needs of all.

Incorporated in 1989, we are a community-based, non-profit society and a registered charity based in Kamloops, BC and serving people with disabilities locally and within the Regional District and Health Area. A volunteer Board of Directors elected annually (of which a minimum of 51% must have a disability) governs People In Motion and reports to the membership. Staff carries out the day-to-day delivery of programs, services and the agency operation, supported by volunteers.

People In Motion is funded through fundraising initiatives including gaming, grants, donations, service contracts and numerous fee-for-service activities. We derive only a very small part of our annual budget revenues from government contracts.

We are active and advocate at all levels in the community, the region and beyond to ensure the voice of people with disabilities is heard, that they are recognized as an integral part of the community and as citizens, and that they have full opportunity to participate in all aspects of community life including the decision-making process.
