The Life I Want is the first person led public social partnership in Scotland. Covering Greater Glasgow, it creates opportunities for people with learning disabilities to make practical differences to their own lives. It consists of five themed workstreams (health, housing, relationships, employment and transitions) where people work alongside our 15 partner organisations to achieve the outcomes they think are most important. The workstreams develop and deliver different projects and activities, aimed at improving the lives of people with learning disabilities either directly or through support agencies. Participation makes a huge difference: improving confidence, developing skills, and creating opportunities to gain work experience and employment. It also improves benefit to the wider community of people with learning disabilities, through raising awareness and understanding, contributing to service improvement, and advocating for change.
