Charity Awards 2010: Winner: My Life My Choice
My Life My Choice (MLMC) is run by and for people with learning disabilities (PWLD) and we were established as a self-advocacy charity in 1999. We are the only organisation of its kind in Oxfordshire and we have over 450 members, governed by its Board of Trustees who are all PWLD. As well as promoting choice, empowerment, and participation, we provide volunteering, training, social and employment opportunities. We create positive change in our lives, by influencing policy, professionals, communities, and by inspiring each other.
