'Independent Living' at Walsall Town Hall is an opportunity for people in Walsall who have a physical disability or impairment to find out how Walsall Council can help them.  At 'Independent Living' 2007 The event is aimed at people that either have, or look after someone with a physical disability, sensory impairment or brain injury. At previous events children, pensioners and their families have attended and been able to find a service that helped them or a loved one maintain their home, access education and training or access care services. "At these events 86% of attendees found out about help available that they never knew existed!" says organiser Vicki Mann.
