Independent Living Association (ILA)
.The ILA is a user led charity supporting people with a health or social care need to gain and maintain their independence.
.Our aims
.● provide a range of services to help people gain and maintain their independence.
.● listen to what people want and to develop our services around their needs.
.● invest all surpluses into improving and widening our services.
.● be led by our members, people with health and social care needs and their carers.
.Our Principles
.● Disabled people have the same rights as all citizens.
.● Independent living means having choice over everyday life. It doesn't mean doing without assistance, but exercising control over that assistance.
.● Independent living is being able to decide where and how to live.
We are committed to removing the barriers that can restrict ordinary life. Not just physical barriers, but also society's attitudes and assumptions and the way society runs its services and organisations.
