Overview

What do I want for my life is an exciting two-year project about working together to develop community support for adults with disabilities and mental health problems, both now and in the future.

East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership (ELHSCP) needs your help. We are working with:

  • all the people who use these services
  • their families/carers
  • the organisations who provide community day supports
  • advocacy and support groups.

We will be looking at the services that ELHSCP buys from other organisations and charities. We will also be including services provided by East Lothian Council, which are :

  • Tynebank
  • Port Seton
  • Fisherrow Hub.

We want you to share your views and help us to develop these services. Your involvement will help us to decide what services will be best for the people in East Lothian.

What happens next
