High Sheriff of Surrey visits Disability Initiative

The High Sheriff of Surrey, Lady Elizabeth Toulson CBE, visited Disability Initiative on Tuesday 6th October 2009.

Disability Initiative is an independent specialist charity that supports over 100 adults with physical disabilities by providing a range of therapeutic services.

Elizabeth Toulson toured the resource centre and had an opportunity to chat with clients who explained about the range of programmes and the many achievements they have made. DI's clients are supported to rebuild their self confidence and skills, take risks and develop abilities which enable them to live the lives they choose.

DI's mission is to encourage disabled people to integrate fully into society, enabling them to release their potential and aspire to their chosen goals. Disability Initiative, along with its partners, support clients as they strive towards maintaining or increasing their independence, rehabilitation and employment.

Lucy Brown, Chief Executive of Disability Initiative comments, "We were delighted to receive Lady Toulson who spent time chatting with clients and experiencing some of the programmes on offer such as yoga, IT, design & technology and cookery."

Lady Toulson said "DI was an inspirational place where the focus is completely on ability".
