We empower disabled people to live the life they choose.
Living Options Devon is working across the South West to ensure that people with disabilities and Deaf people (who use British Sign Language) can live the life they choose.
We offer a range of help and support services for people with a long-term health condition, disability and/or who are Deaf, where British Sign Language is their first language.
Living Options Devon has significantly grown from its humble beginnings. The charity began with just one employee and Peter as a volunteer, to now encompass a wide range of support services for disabled people, people with a long-term health condition, and members of the Deaf Community across the southwest.
