The Partners for Inclusion Group is the overarching organisation, bringing together Partners, Just Connections, Linking Lives and dM2.


We started our humble beginnings as a Project of Inclusion Glasgow, where the ethos was to support individuals to live the best life that they could, within their own homes, with their own dedicated team.

Over the years we have gained a reputation for reliability, stickability and really listening to what the person is saying, as we believe all behaviour is communication.

Our ethos remains the same today, as it did in the beginning. The people we support are at the heart of what we do and they are our greatest teachers.

Partners for Inclusion Group exist to:

  • Support people with disabilities to live how they choose, whilst influencing and enhancing the opportunities available to all;
  • To share knowledge, experiences and learning with others.

Partners for Inclusion Group believes:

  • Everyone is equal and different, with their own gifts
  • Everyone has the ability to develop
  • Everyone has needs and the right to support in keeping with their basic human rights
  • Everyone’s relationships are valuable
