... [more] [less]What your organisation does
At Positive Futures, we’re positive about people. People with a learning disability, those with acquired brain injury or autism. Where others see problems, we see possibilities. We have transformed lives and continue to do so. We speak out for the rights of those who need our support. We work closely with decision makers, such as politicians at
Stormont and Westminster, to ensure that public services are the best they can be. We support individuals and families. The support we provide is individually tailored so that it enables people to have as much choice and control over what they do as possible. Because those we support live in local communities, they have the opportunity to play a full role in society. Going to the local leisure centre, using public transport, shopping or going to church may sound like everyday activities, but for some they can be life-changing experiences. We have a range of services which include: •supported living services •peripatetic housing support services •residential short break (respite) services •family support services for children and families •long–term and short break adult placement / shared lives services •family support services for older carers •inclusive community support services •day activities •children’s residential service
