The Life I Want

Established in 2013, The Life I Want is a project led by people with learning disabilities and/or neurodivergent people based in Greater Glasgow & Clyde. They come together to identify blocks and develop solutions that support good lives.

Originally a Public Social Partnership, the project enjoys working collaboratively with NHS GGC; Glasgow City Council and a range of support organisations.

Some key themes that we currently work on are

• Health
• Relationships
• Housing

Recent developments include

• S.H.E (Sexual Health & Empowerment) – The programme for women covers topics such as positive relationships, body image, sexual health, personal safety, spotting abusive behaviours and confidence and self-esteem.
• H.I.M (Health Improvement for Men) – This programme covers a wide range of topics including men & feelings; men’s health MOT; positive friendships & relationships; sexual health & wellbeing; physical wellbeing; and abuse & keeping safe.
• Count Me In – This course teaches people how to manage money, budget well, and be more confident with money.
• Travel training for support staff – This course teaches support staff the skills to help people to learn to independently and safely access public transport.
