WINNER

West Dunbartonshire Council
The Good Life: Positive Attitudes Group

The Good Life: Positive Attitudes Group is a group of adults with learning disabilities whose work improves the lives of people like them. Through the use of Forum Theatre and Group members’ representation and consultation activity they challenge attitudes, influence the planning of relevant policies and offer unique training for organisations delivering public services. The training is innovative because it is conceived, designed and delivered by the Group members and is based on their own experiences – the people who use the services training the people who deliver the services. The work of the Good Life Group has a positive, lasting impact on the lives of people with a learning disability by addressing the inequalities they face and taking direct action to challenge and redress them.
