Context

Genio is a non-profit organisation specialising in social service transformation. Genio was established to assist government to increase cost-effective personalisation of social services. Founded in 2008, the organisations mission is to bring about lasting improvements in the lives of people who are disadvantaged and vulnerable through the reform of social services in a person-centred and cost-effective direction.

In 2014, The Atlantic Philanthropies awarded their final grant amounting €15,000,000 to Genio between 2014 and 2018. Titled Embedding The Change, grant 22674 was purposed to improve the lives of people with disabilities and mental health difficulties by catalysing the development of a Service Reform Fund to embed and scale the Genio model of service transformation.

Description:

The five-page long report gives an update on outcomes activities and key accomplishments of The National Platform for Self-Advocates, an organisation that was set up with the help of Genio to make sure that the voices of people with intellectual disabilities are heard. The organisation forms part of grant 22674 titled Embedding The Change and presents one of the projects Genio has identified to improve the lives of people with disabilities and mental health difficulties.
