About WIRED

Wired was created in 1st April 2003 by merging Living Options and Wirral Association for Disability.

Vision

Our vision is of a society in which disadvantaged people can lead full and independent lives fully participating in society.

Mission

Our mission is to promote the equality, dignity and independence of disadvantaged people.

Wired works to a number of Key Principles, these are:

• Empowerment: we believe that people should have control over their own lives.
• Choice of where to live and how to maintain independence without over protection.
• Consultation: involvement in service planning by disadvantaged people and carers.
• Information: clear and easily available.
• Participation in local, regional and national communities.
• Autonomy: the freedom to make decisions about life.

Wired works with groups and individuals building partnerships between professionals, clients and ourselves.
