Fancy a sneak peek around Christ Church Primary School? 👀

As part of our Sensory Schools project, students Jago, Baz, and their anonymous cameraman gave us a glimpse into life at Christ Church Primary — sharing what works well and what could be better.

By asking young people directly what they think, students can build confidence, advocate for themselves and help shape decisions that affect them, creating the places where they want to learn! 💬

Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/E0YnWQLpr40

A huge thank you to Christ Church Primary for getting involved

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.
