Our Story
Hear from Susan Dingwall, Director & CEO of Up Crew

UP Crew was founded by Director Susan Dingwall after she saw a gap in the disability sector, particularly around meaningful opportunities for training, employment, independence and community participation.
She also recognised the importance of genuine social connection. UP Crew was created to provide personalised support that helps people feel confident to be themselves, build meaningful connections, develop skills and participate more fully in their community.

Our Approach
At UP Crew, we believe support should start with the person, not the service.
We take an individualised, person-centred approach that encourages choice, independence, confidence and personal growth. We take the time to understand each person's interests, strengths, goals and support needs, and work alongside them to create opportunities that are meaningful to their life.
Whether it's navigating the community, developing social confidence, learning new skills, exploring employment, or taking part in activities and experiences, our focus is on supporting people to build capacity and greater independence in everyday life.
Building Confidence & Independence
We believe real growth happens through real experiences.
Our team supports participants to develop practical skills, make choices, try new things and work towards their individual goals. This can include building confidence in social situations, developing community and travel skills, exploring training and employment opportunities, or simply discovering new interests.
Our activities and outings are not just about having fun — they provide opportunities to connect, learn, practise skills, build confidence and participate in community life.
Community & Connection
Connection is at the heart of UP Crew.
We support people to participate in their local community and build relationships beyond their immediate support network. We work alongside community organisations, employment providers and other partners to create meaningful opportunities for inclusion, participation and belonging.
We also believe in giving back and supporting the wider community wherever we can.
Our Vision
A community where people feel safe to be themselves, connected to others and confident to step into their potential.
