About Us
First Initiatives was established in 2001 to respond to the needs of Local Authorities and professionals seeking innovative and quality services for individuals with Learning Disability, Mental Health issues or Physical Disabilities. We provide Person Centred support, to allow Service Users to realise their maximum potential for independence and live full and independent lives.
Mission
We aim to offer any child or adult in the UK with learning difficulty, mental health need or physical disability, a comprehensive range of innovative personalised services.
We are a voluntary organisation with charitable status and a company limited by guarantee.
Based in Crosby, First Initiatives works in partnership with housing associations and local authority 'social services' to manage facilities which support Service Users and Carers in our target group.
We are a member of the Calico Partnership providing practical support and advice for people in East Lancashire who need skills and advice to live independently.
First Initiatives is part of the Autism Initiatives group and is looking to lead the way in support, care and education for people within the field of mental health and learning disability, their families and carers.
