Ayrshire Independent Living Network

AILN have been providing high quality Self-directed Support (SDS) advice and information to the people of Ayrshire for over a decade. AILN is run by a Board who have personal experience of SDS, support services or have worked or volunteered in similar settings, so we know how difficult and daunting it is to get the information you need about SDS. AILN initially grew from a group of disabled people who wanted to see a change in the way that community care services were offered to people. When direct payments were first introduced in 2003 they were keen to promote this as an option for independent living. Since 2005 the three Ayrshire councils have jointly funded the SDS support & information service. AILN is a peer-led, not-for-profit company limited by guarantee with charitable status.
