We are not for profit organisation working to enable people at risk of exclusion, due to age or disability, to live the life they choose.NDTi has been working with communities, government, health and social care professionals for 25 years to ensure that people with disabilities of all ages are given choice and control over their own lives. Our work always focuses on wider life outcomes. We want disabled and older people to enjoy the same life course and opportunities as everyone else – education, paid work, a place of their own, fulfilling personal relationships and a chance to contribute to their communities.Our team provide decision makers with the evidence, skills, knowledge and courage to make transformational change happen. We work to ensure that people who risk being excluded have the same opportunities as everyone else.

Communities – working together is a key principle of the CLS programme. What does this look like in practice? How do we make this happen? What gets in the way of this? What do Statutory organisations need to do differently? What do communities need to support them?
 This session will explore and share progress, challenges, ideas and solutions from the perspectives of practitioners and community partners.
Pip Cannons will share what worked to build successful community relationships in Somerset along with examples from Scotland.
