Providing services for individuals and professionals

Going For Independence (GFI) specialises in providing information and advice on independent living and equipment, environmental assessments to enable people to live their lives to the full, and related training for organisations. We fully support the social model of disability. GFI is a social enterprise, working in partnership with other organisations to develop new and sustainable services.


Most people are affected by a loss of mobility at some time in their lives, either through accident, illness, injury or aging, or through the experiences of a close relative or friend. GFI will help you to get the right information at the right time
.

Contact us on 01287 204204 or email info@goingforindependence.org 
for information on what will best suit you and your home. We will put you in touch with the right support and research local information for you. 

Our vision is for people to be empowered to live independently with more choice and control over their lives.
