Our History

Over the past 10 years, we at C-Change have designed and developed support arrangements with over forty people who have a wide range of needs, skills and gifts.  Our support services, each tailored to the specific needs of the individual, provide excellent examples of innovative self directed support. 

C-Change launched in May 2001 as a project of Inclusion Glasgow.  It became a separately constituted organisation in April 2004. 

For the first five years C-Change focussed on transforming the lives of adults with learning disabilities and/or mental health issues living in long stay institutions such as Lennoxcastle Hospital.  Most individuals had been assigned reputations for challenging services. Our early successes were based on supporting individuals to move in to their own homes; taking greater control of their lives and connecting with their local communities.

In more recent years we have been working for individuals who are on the Autistic Spectrum; have a serious head injury, have Muscular Sclerosis and the implications of Korsakoffs syndrome.  We also design and provide support for families and individuals living together in the family home.

We are committed to supporting real positive change in the lives of individuals and families with support needs regardless of age and personal circumstances.

In 2008 we started dates-n-mates, a dating and friendship agency run by and for adults with learning disabilities; dates-n-mates now has over 100 members.

C-Change is a member of ALTRUM which is a federation of like minded organisations.
