The partners in the project see the centre as a big step forward in promoting independent life for disabled people. Representatives from local disabled groups have been actively involved in developing the project. The partners hope that the centre will eventually provide a focus to expand training opportunities, e.g. with Gt. Yarmouth College and for many other related activities.
