Welcome to the SCIL Blog

How to start a Blog?

Let’s start at the very beginning…..a very good place to start…….

Southampton Centre for Independent Living is an organisation of disabled people, run and controlled by disabled people. We started out in 1984 and have grown over the past 22 years into an organisation that supports over 1000 disabled people each year, employs over 20 members of staff (both disabled and non-disabled), and continues to campaign for the rights of Disabled People, not just in Southampton but across the whole country.

We are probably best known for the work we do within Direct Payments, however we are a lot more than a one-trick pony as you’ll find out if you stay tuned to our blog over the coming weeks and months.
