The National Valuing Families Forum (NVFF) brings together a network of regional family carer organisations to consult and feed into government policy and legislation affecting those with learning disabilities and their families. The Forum helps the National Learning Disability Programme Board know what is important for families. The NVFF are collating stories about the problems being caused by the closure of the Independent Living Fund (ILF )and the transfer of funding to local authorities. Please contact Sue Kirkman by email if you wish to speak to her about sharing your experience of how the ILF has affected you and send a story.
