My Life – My Choice Limited was established in 2002 were we opened ‘Lora House’ a small respite centre for adults with disabilities, then in December 2003 we opened an activity and respite centre, aptly named the ‘Blue Tin Roof’ for children and young adults with disabilities.
Over the past 12 years the team has worked hard to provide a whole host of services, we have grown in capacity and have basically outgrown the Blue Tin Roof. So in 2013 we bought a new building in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire and officially opened in 2015 This centre is named ‘Big Blue Door’. We have now progressed with another new building called 'Big Green Farm' this was bought back in 2023 and is now a dedicated care home for the adults that have progressed and grown up with us through the company first opening.
My name is Andrea Brighouse and I am the Managing Director of My Life – My Choice Ltd. I thought it may be helpful to give some additional information about why we exist in the first place, and what we are all about.
