Improving Lives

Charity registered in Scotland SC048160

Improving Lives have created a safe and informative space for people with disabilities, their carers and families to find the help and support they need first time. Our advisors provide in depth personal support and assistance, welfare rights, our own support groups, peer group and space for other community groups to use. We have a fully accessible Sensory Garden and wellbeing allotment. Improving Lives offer a one stop information and support service for Self Directed Support in West Dunbartonshire. We host an annual information and support open day every year that attracts close to 300 members of the public, run our fortnightly Community Action Group which identifies local issues and works to address them and have introduced disability martial arts to West Dunbartonshire through our Disability Karate Class.
