Do you live in Wiltshire or BaNES?

Hello,

(I'm hoping this is allowed as we're a registered charity (1000659) and we're not looking for donations/fundraising, but please report my message if I've broken any rules)

The Independent Living Centre is a charity in Semington, Wiltshire. We offer free and impartial advice to older people and people with a long-term medical condition or disability living in Wiltshire or BaNES, to help them remain independent in their own homes.

This is usually done through assessments with our Occupational Therapist, however due to Covid-19 we are no longer able to offer face-to-face appointments. Our OT is still offering telephone or email advice however, and we can still post information packs out to people. We can also offer advice and information to family members and professionals, e.g. carers, NHS staff, Adult Social Care staff, care agencies etc.

Our other main service is benefits advice. We have a fantastic Welfare Benefits Adviser who can not only help people learn what they may be entitled to, but also help them fill in the paperwork, and even help with appeals if the claim is turned down.

All advice is free of charge to anyone living in Wiltshire or BaNES.

We're just trying to raise a bit more awareness about our service, as we feel it's more important than ever to make sure that people who may feel vulnerable are getting the support they need during these worrying times.

If you live in Wiltshire or BaNES and think we might be able to help you, or a friend or a family member, please get in touch with us on [email protected]
