National Centre for Independent Living provides information on direct payments for disabled people. Please note that this website is currently being updated.
Independent Living Funds (ILF) are two funds set up and financed by UK central government. They were set up as a national resource dedicated to the financial support of disabled people to enable them to choose to live in the community rather than in residential care.
Guides to Direct Payments from the Department of Health are available on this page.
Mobilise aims to promote independence through improved mobility for disabled people.
Disabled Living Foundation (DLF) aim to help people achieve greater mobility and independence and to confront barriers excluding them from living a full and productive life at home, at work and in their leisure time.
Shaping our Lives Network has a vision of an equal and fair society where people have the same opportunities, choices, rights and responsibilities. A society where people have choice and control over the way they live and the support services they use. The website is for finding out about what service user organisations are doing and also what non-service user organisations are doing for service users.
