Support Organisations

http://www.inclusion-glasgow.org.uk/ Inclusion Glasgow is a living example of how one organisation can exist to provide individually tailored, creative, person centred services in a real way which means people with disabilities get a real life.

http://www.neighbourhoodnetworks.org/ Neighbourhood Networks is a person-centred Scottish charity, launched in 2001 to provide living support networks for people labelled with support needs living in Scotland.   
 
http://www.forliving.org/ SOL services are designed to ensure that people are supported to live life to the full within their own homes, families and the community. Each person has dedicated support or live-in support workers who work in a person centred way to deliver the right amount and type of support required by each individual. 
 
http://www.c-change.org.uk/ C-Change for Inclusion supports 36 people living in their own homes and with a lifestyle they choose. We are also developing a number of other services that will help individuals move out of hospital or move on from their current unsustainable living environments. 
 
http://www.partnersforinclusion.org/  Partners for Inclusion has expertise in working with people who challenge services and we believe that this often happens where a service is unable to adequately meet the person’s needs. Individually designed services delivered within existing cost restraints therefore makes sense to us and represents a better way forward.

We work in partnership with people and their families, to help them to identify and plan for the kind of life they want to live, and then to support them to achieve this. We also work with local communities to strengthen their capacity to include people with disabilities and other support needs as valued citizens

http://www.freespacescotland.org/ Freespace provide personalised, self directed support for people with disabilities. They believe we should all be treated as individuals.  Because of this they work alongside you to plan how they will respond to your unique and specific needs, aims and aspirations. They believe in equal partnerships between people and their support staff.  This ensures a high quality and unique service for you to get the life you want, and a rewarding, supportive work environment for your team.

Garvald Edinburgh is part of the worldwide movement of curative education and social therapy. The social therapeutic approach to our work is fundamentally linked to an attitude; a quality of respect and care; an attention to detail and a sense of the shared destiny of individuals.
