Get involved and make a positive difference to people’s lives
Projects
At Real Life Options, we aim to deliver initiatives based on improving wellbeing, supporting independence and building greater community connections. As part of this process, the people we support are heavily involved in coming up with amazing ideas for projects or activities which they feel would benefit themselves and others within their local community.
Initiatives across England and Scotland include several garden and allotment refurbishments, providing quiet and sensory areas for people to socialise as well as themed events and celebration parties.
Do you have an idea for a local project or initiative? Would you like to support us in making a real difference to people’s lives? To find out more, email: getinvolved@reallifeoptions.org.
