DISABLED people in Middlesbrough are being offered new independence.

A project designed to help people with disabilities move into homes of their own has been launched by the Endeavour Housing Association.

People will be given the chance to learn life skills while living in a purpose-built bungalow.

Once bosses think the clients are independent enough to live alone, they will be allowed to move on.

Clients will be referred to the project by Middlesbrough Borough Council.
