Red - Physical impairments and conditions
Gold - Neurodiversity
White - Non-visible and undiagnosed impairments and conditions
Blue - Emotional and psychiatric conditions, including mental health, anxiety and depression
Green - Hearing impaired, vision impaired, audio processing and all other sensory impairments and conditions

Trowbridge Care Centre Feedback and co-pro info
WiltsCIL has been asked to capture views and feedback for the forthcoming Integrated Care Centre in Trowbridge. ‘What Grinds your gears?’ – i.e. what you find frustrating about accessing your local health services? ‘And what floats your boat?’, i.e. what works and why?!
The Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board, (BSW), covers a large area. That includes the densely populated and growing town of Swindon to the north, the historic city of Bath, Salisbury plains to the south and the rolling Mendip Hills to the west.
By working collectively to improve the health outcomes of local people, they are able to reduce variation in care and standardise best practice across the area, so that everyone in the region receives high quality treatment, regardless of where they live.

Did you know the Wiltshire Local Offer is the place to go to find out about SEND advice, services and support in Wiltshire?

The Pioneers had a fantastic time working with Joe and Jack from the Local Offer a few weeks ago, looking at how they can share the website with as many young people as possible!

Their solution – to co-produce a Local Offer poster to be shared across the county, made by young people, for young people!

A huge thank you to everyone who shared their ideas, and we look forward to the Pioneers reviewing and sharing the new poster soon!

Want to make a change, meet new people, and find out how you can over summer? Contact us at:

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.
