National organisation

We just started the first step to be an national organisation. We have applied for funding from goverment, and hope to start in january 2006. There will be a group of people with disabilities running the service-headquarter in Gothenburg, with help of two coaches. We have to build up 5 regional offices, 1 east,1 west, 2 north and 1 south. We think it´s will take about 3 years to be established.
