Our History

GFI was established in 2008 by Pam Bennett. With the aim of a Community Interest Company that works closely with Independent Occupational Therapists and organisations supporting people with disabilities. GFI has gone on to provide independent information and home assessment services, shares specialist equipment and adaptations knowledge and provides social activities in the community.

 

 

Our Achievements

GFI is proud to have developed training for organisations on improving outcomes for independent living. We also work with local charities to provide a range of activities for people in the community and run an inclusive art department. We have partnered with many charities such as The Wildlife Trust and researchers at Teeside University to bring accessible ideas into fruition.
