The Young Pioneers Sessions are BACK! 🎉

Our Pioneers have been involved in various things that make an IMPACT to them, as disabled young people, as they get older. We continue this next, with a Young Pioneer session on February 18th 2026. This will enable our younger cohort to share, co-produce, feedback and celebrate their ambitions.

We were blown away by the Pioneers creativity this week, taking part in the 64 Million Artists’ January Challenge 🎨

We think they had some great choices, what do you think?

Calling all Pioneers, are you ready to get crafty this January? 🎨

The January Challenge from 64 Million Artists is 31 days of quick, fun and FREE creative prompts designed to kickstart the year.

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.
