Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions (TLS) is a Community Interest Company which supports adults with disabilities to live fulfilling, purposeful, interdependent lives in their communities.
Being driven by a group of disabled people means that we have a long history of collaborative working and understand the true meaning of working co-productively.
As a social enterprise we recognise that trading for profit is not a bad thing, and our assets are locked to the community. So, for us, it's all about what you do with those assets and the profit.
Our formal articles of association list our objects as; "To promote an understanding of disabled people by reducing and removing the barriers they face using the social model of disability approach and to help disabled people to become integral and active members of the communities in which they live". This is key to all the services we provide.
To this end, the TLS Board, agreed to fund the PATT ADHD Support Service for an initial one year period to provide training and guidance on ADHD and neurodivergence to professionals and support and guidance to children, young people and those that care for them.
