There are many services available in Hounslow to help you if you have a physical disability. The services are designed to support you with your day-to- day tasks, so that you can be helped to live at home safely.
We provide a range of services to help people with a physical disability and their carer lead a full and purposeful life. Our main purpose is to work to remove barriers which can exclude you from full participation in the community and to help promote your independence.
