My Life My Choice describes itself on the register as an independent, user-led charity with members across Oxfordshire. Its registered activities include promoting choice and participation, alongside volunteering, training, social and paid-work opportunities.

The register statement says its trustees have a learning disability. That is relevant to understanding its user-led model; board size alone does not establish how effectively people influence decisions. Read the governance explanation and the charity’s own accessible information.

A local self-advocacy organisation serves a different purpose from a national disability campaign or a condition-specific service. Start with the disability cause review and compare the activity you want funded.

The current financial panel links to the full profile, where accounts dates and score limitations are visible. Spending ratios cannot show whether members experience greater control or less isolation.

Useful result evidence would explain who took part, how members defined success and which accessible methods were used to gather feedback. Ask whether feedback includes people who stopped attending and how findings changed services. Confirm membership, accessibility and current opportunities directly with the charity.
