Providing a Foundation for Personal Growth
We believe there should be opportunity for each person to explore new and exciting areas of activity.
Having funded the research and initial development of Sutton Support Services from their own resources the team are now finding that in order to maintain and further develop the projects additional funding is required. Sutton Support Services are applying for a grant in order to continue to provide and develop a unique outstanding project for people with disabilities and their carer's within the Birmingham area.
Further development would include the setting up of a number of Community Initiative Companies in order empower more people with disabilities. Already identified, piloted and ready to run the following initiatives now seek financial support.
The mind is like an Umbrella it functions best when open!!
