The majority of disabled people we speak to feel as though their only options are to either stay living with their family or to move into a residential care home, and neither of these options provide an opportunity for independence or fill them with excitement for the future.
Research by Mencap found that most people with a learning disability who live with family want greater independence, with around 70% wanting to change their current housing arrangements to achieve this.
We can and must do better. Lets for Life are here to provide the creativity and passion that is needed to enable this change to happen. With the right service, all disabled people, autistic people and people with learning disabilities can lead happy, independent and more connected lives.
