I understand how Choices meets the neds of the service users that utilies the service. These vulnerable services uses looks forward to going to Choices every day giving them a sense of selfd worth. I think the L.A should do all it can to keep the place open as people with learning and physical difficulties are already marginlised in society

High quality care is usually available in the domains of acute medicine and surgery, but in the later stages difficulties arise as, all too often, little is done for the social reintegration of the victim. The family is often alone to support the burden of the "stranger in the house".
Choices provide a service which is needed in the recovery process.

It provides them with effectively a 'second family', plus friendship and support. It also provides their carers with welcome respite.
I wish my council tax to be used to help those in the community who are especially vulnerable. It is morally reprehensible to withdraw funding from those who are often unable to help themselves. Abandoning Choices will leave its clients with no choices.

Scientific evidence proves the efficacy of the work of this proffession.
I have a very beautiful garden which I work in to give great benefit to my clients from Choice, mainly a group recovering from stroke.
Will all of these clients be provided for in terms of provision of a new gardening location, staff and financial backing, or has this vulnerable group to loose their friends, tutors and valuable therapy sessions. Ann Begg our patron opened this garden.

I work with adults with special needs, and these guys have been told that their centre is closing on Fridays, as of April, 2008.
If the council announced that all primary schools were to be reduced to a four day week, there would be a public outcry.
These closures are outrageous!
