This is a free event
Young people that attend Autonomie's Freedom2Choose project were recently joined by author and illustrator Oliver Jeffers, patron of the charity.
Autonomie invites families raising disabled children, and young people with a physical disability aged between 14 to 25, to come along to our drop-in day at our new centre LILAC House (Linked Independent Living and Advice Centre) to learn about our new services. Young people can access recreation activities, mentoring, training, and even a chance to try independent living at purpose-designed units. We also offer carers, parents, and siblings free confidential counselling, advice and training.
