Local Area Coordination

Enable's local area coordination (LAC) service supports every person who has a learning disability, as well as their families and carers - wherever and however we are needed.

LAC is a globally-recognised approach to supporting people of all ages in local communities, and their families, in pursuit of their vision of a good life. LAC is there for everyone regardless of your circumstances. You don't need a budget or a referral to access this service.

What local area coordinators do 

That's really up to you. Coordinators do different things depending on what people want. Coordinators might:

• work with individuals, families and communities to make local activities and services more inclusive

• work with people who want us in their lives, go at a pace that suits them and stay involved for as long as they want our support

• focus on what people can do, rather than what they can't do – empowering them to live the life they choose

LAC community stories

Enable has hosted Local Area Coordinators for many years. The nature of our work is guided by you. You don’t need a referral to be introduced to us and we are here for you whenever you need us, for as long as you need us.
