My Life, My Choice

2024 Grant Recipients

My Life My Choice believe people with learning disabilities should have choice and control over their lives. The grant will fund establishing a self-advocacy group to meet the needs of Didcot residents who have a learning disability. Self-advocacy groups empower members to understand their rights, identify and communicate their needs, as individuals and as a team, to become more active participants in decision making that affects them and their communities. There is potential to have up to 45 members from within the Powerhouse area. As well as increasing confidence, knowledge and skills, for example through workshops, this support also tackles the isolation and loneliness often experienced by those with learning disabilities.
