Information Advice and Guidance

Warrington Disability Partnership was founded on the philosophy that “information can be the key to independent living”. Our staff and volunteers have decades of experience and a vast array of knowledge about local, regional and national support groups and services.

Fact sheets and/or leaflets are available about all WDP services and we have thousands of leaflets from support services available to Warrington residents.

A full range of information is available from our Centre for Independent Living and Shopmobiity Servce.
