We are run by Hampshire Coalition of Disabled People (HCODP) in association with Hampshire County Council Social Care Services department.

Hampshire Coalition of Disabled People

Hampshire Coalition of Disabled People (HCODP) is an agent for change campaigning for a society which welcomes Disabled People and where Disabled People have the same rights and opportunities that non-disabled people take for granted. They are the lead partner in the Project.

Hampshire County Council Social Care Services Department

Hampshire County Council Social Care Services Department represent the statutory services involvement in the Project. There are local developments that the Project needs to be aware of and the Project must also link in with existing services, Occupational Therapy Direct, and Social Services Direct.

Invest to Save Budget

Ultimately the Project is funded through the Invest to Save Budget scheme. This is money allocated through Government. It is intended for Projects which ordinarily may not be funded through the normal channels and for innovative projects where there may be significant benefits.
