About Going For Independence
Going for Independence (GFI) is a Community Interest Company, a not-for-profit organisation driven by social and environmental objectives.
Going For Independence is an organisation that has been established to provide a home assessment and information service, specialising in equipment and adaptations.
GFI offers a trusted alternative to statutory services, which are only available free to people with the highest level of need.
We provide a value for money service for people wanting timely information to help them to stay independent. When people need information and advice they should not have to wait. Going For Independence aims to give choice and control back to the individual and peace of mind to families.
Our organisation is independent which means that we can be impartial and give information on a wide range of equipment, adaptations and new ways of doing things. These include areas not covered by the council or health service, such as enabling access to the garden, leisure activities, adjustments at work and getting into the car.
We have an experienced team of trained and police checked Independent Assessors including qualified Occupational Therapists, who will carry out assessments to the highest standards.
GFI can help people to find the solutions that will enable them to stay active and independent - contact us to find out more.
Going For Independence is a member of the CIC Association.
