Imagine Independence is a leading third sector organisation, passionate about supporting people with mental illness, neurodiversity, learning disabilities, and behaviours that challenge to live as part of their community.

Imagine exists to challenge the stigma that having a mental illness or learning disability still brings. Imagine supports people to live meaningfully by nurturing their individuality and recognising the power of small steps.

Every day, Imagines' staff and volunteers generously share their experience, knowledge, and talents with the people they support. Through their focused dedication to Imagines' mission, and the courage to challenge the status quo, people feel valued. They know they are making both the 'everyday' and the 'extraordinary' become possible for everyone.

They walk alongside the people they have the privilege to serve, helping to transform lives, one day at a time.

And they never give up.
