Help Us Make Independent Living a Reality
At LCiL, we believe everyone deserves to live life on their own terms. Every day, we support disabled people, those with long-term health conditions, and older people across Edinburgh and the Lothians to take control, make choices, and live with confidence.
We provide solutions for people to live an independent life – giving them choice and control to:
- Employ their own personal assistants
- Manage care packages with confidence
- Access vital benefits and funding
- Support to live independent lives
When you donate, you’re not just giving money – you’re giving someone the chance to say:
I can finally manage my support without feeling overwhelmed.
LCiL gave me the confidence to employ my own personal assistant—someone I chose and trust.
I didn’t know what benefits I was entitled to until I spoke with LCiL. They changed my life.
Meeting others in a peer group made me feel less alone, less worried and more hopeful.
What Your Support Achieves
Your donation keeps our vital services free and accessible. With your help, we can:
• Offer compassionate, independent advice and information that is accessible.
• Run cost of living workshops that give people practical guidance in these tough times.
• Provide resources that make self-directed support easier to understand and use.
• Create safe spaces for training and peer groups where people share experiences and encourage each other to self advocate to help break down the many societal barriers they face on a daily basis.
Your donation to LCiL will help us to deliver our services, advance the rights of disabled people and ensure that Independent Living is a reality for disabled people.
They are peer led – they really understand the obstacles of independent living.
Independent Living Support has been transformative; giving me a greater understanding of my rights as a disabled person and helping me access support.
