Once again, we've teamed up with Leighton Recreation Centre to talk about what it means to be a true Disability Ally.

The Pioneers delivered Disability Ally Training to the amazing staff We had real, meaningful conversations and shared lived experiences.

The feedback has been great with staff saying. “Every leisure centre in Wiltshire should have this training!" and “I can’t speak highly enough about the Pioneers!"

Huge thanks to the team for making us feel so welcome. This is co-production in action

The Pioneers have been showing how training should be done. Nathan and Christopher have written and have been delivering Autism training to social care staff alongside .
They brought the training to life by talking about their own experience of Autism, the highs, the lows and everything in between, as well as putting staff to the test in some tough scenarios.
The feedback has been great, with a number of people saying that the training should be compulsory for all social care staff.
This is what true co-production looks like.

What’s a mental health tool kit, we hear you say?!

Well, if you haven’t heard of them already, let us fill you in! A mental health tool kit is a valuable resource that you can create to help you when things get hard.

Often when we feel low in mood, it’s difficult to know what can make you feel better. Creating your own mental health tool kit means that you have things readily available that you know work for you. 🛀⭐🎶📚

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.
