Comment: | Gloucestershire Lifestyles is a charity aiming to advance the quality of life for those with disabilities living in Gloucestershire. Working on a one-to-one basis, they enable their members, aged eighteen to sixty five, to make choices and take increasing control of their own affairs. Through varied projects, they provide advice and support and create opportunities to help people enjoy increased freedom and independence. They recognise that disabled people should be included at every level in all aspects of society - every individual has a voice.
