Meet Lucy ☺️. She has shared her story with her connector Liz, about her successes:
"I was introduced to local activities and groups, and I've started to build a stronger support network around me.
I've also accessed an Active Health program, which gives me access to the gym and tailored support.
I feel that my confidence has grown. I now go along to a local community space, where I do activities and also share my love of diamond art by teaching others. After some difficult times in my life, attending these groups, has given me a sense of purpose, helping me feel valued and less isolated."

Lucy’s experiences, journey and own determination, has enabled her to change her health, confidence, and sense of belonging. She continues to look forward, & is proud of how far she has come.

Our Story

Wiltshire Centre for Independent Living is a user led organisation which means we are managed and led by local disabled people. Our core work is to support disabled people across Wiltshire to actively experience choice, control and independence.

We are a registered charity (1120611) and a company ltd by guarantee (5480761)

We are commissioned by Wiltshire Council to provide support to people in receipt of a personal budget (PB) through a direct payment. Following a comprehensive assessment for a social care package people can choose to receive a ‘cash’ payment to manage their own care. People arrange their care through an agency of their choice or by directly employing their own Personal Assistant (PA). We support with all areas to ensure people can manage their direct payment effectively including offering a payroll and banking service so that people are supported with all aspects of employment law. We host a PA register and support people with the recruitment and management of their PA’s. We also provide a support planning service and community development opportunities alongside our #Makesomeonewelcome campaign.
