Surrey Independent Living Council

Who we are

VISION: That every disabled adult, child, older person and carer in Surrey will be able to live more independently, with the same freedoms and opportunities as anyone else.

MISSION:  To provide support and information to enable more people to live independently. Our staff and volunteers work with our clients and customers so that they can make informed choices about their lives. We work in partnership with professionals, agencies and people across Surrey to create an environment where these choices can be fulfilled.

We also believe that disabled adults, children, older people and carers can learn from and support each other.

VALUES: SILC believes that everyone can live independently with the right support. At the heart of everything we do is the social model of disability and the concept of full human rights. We believe that these give a basis for treating everyone with respect, understanding and fairness.
