About Us
We believe that everyone deserves a ‘good life’. The current systems rarely deliver that outcome, especially for those with complex or challenging reputations.
LivesthroughFriends brings together a group of very skilled and talented individuals and organisations, that have complementary knowledge, skills and networks. As a collective we have been delivering and sustaining great lives for people for over half a century.
We work with citizens, communities and services to achieve this by creating:
Real Citizenship
Building kindness, relationships and inclusion into people’s lives
Inclusive Communities
Rebalancing the relationship between Civil society, communities and public services
System Change
Helping commissioners to create a more supportive system
Clinical Competence
Addressing behaviours in a progressive way (in a low arousal way).
LivesthroughFriends was established in 2007 as a Community Interest Company by Bob Rhodes & Colin Campbell with the explicit aim of assisting people who need social care support to ‘self-direct’. Since then we have supported many people out of hospitals and institutions to get their good life.
LivesthroughFriends are members of the European Association of Service Providers for Persons with Disabilities
