Who are we?

Going For Independence is a national organisation for social benefit.

We are on a mission to help people feel empowered to live life to the full and stay independent. Many people will be affected by a loss of mobility or sensory impairment at some time in their lives, either directly through accident, illness or injury, with a condition that deteriorates with age, or through the experience of a close relative or friend. Our aim is to support you through this via advice, information and social activities.

How can we help you?

We can assist you with a range of services as highlighted above.

No matter where you are based, we will do our utmost to connect you with your local support networks and advise you on any queries you may have about independent living and equipment. 

We are a Community Interest Company, an organisation with social and environmental objectives - Much of our work is charitable and our information and advice service is free.

Testimonials

"I want to thank you for your detailed assessment visit recently. You put us at our ease immediately and we felt confident that you would help us make the right choices- and you did. All your suggestions and observations were spot on."
- Marion C
"I would like to thank the GFI team as you were so kind to me while I was going through one of the hardest times of my life...
GFI showed me all the help we were entitled to and who I could contact and what equipment I would need. I wished I had known about GFI before my mum came home as I’m sure the beginning would have been a lot less stressful"
