Promoting choice, control and independence
for disabled people in Sheffield
The Centre for Independent Living
We are a membership and user led organisation, run and controlled by disabled people. We promote independent living for disabled people in Sheffield. By independent living we mean that disabled people have the same freedom and rights to exercise choice and control over their own lives as any other person.
