The new name for Cheshire Centre for Independent Living.

We provide services, opportunities and a voice to people living with disability and long-term health conditions, and their families.

We are Disability Positive. We help people to live well. We know it matters, because we live with disability and long-term health conditions too.

Our range of services are here to make your life easier if you receive a direct payment, employ a personal assistant or have care and support needs.

In the autumn of 2021 we launched our new counselling and befriending service. Do you need support to manage your mental health and stay well?

Our Twitter feed is kept right up-to-date…

As a charity run by and for our users, we couldn’t be without our team of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers.

There are so many different ways you can volunteer with us but however you do it, you’ll benefit from role specific training, gaining new skills and making an important and valued contribution to our work. We are always happy to hear from talented people who might be able to help us. The first step is to find out more here.

In essence an advocate represents a sort of unconditional ally for a vulnerable individual, they may in fact be the only person in that individual’s life who is on their side.

Our Advocacy services are free, confidential and independent.

We’re here to challenge ageism and discrimination and tackle the inequalities that exist in older age. We will focus our resources on the critical areas of health and care, loneliness and poverty and concentrate our efforts where we will have the greatest impact and reach.

Whatever happens as we get older, we all want to remain independent and live life on our own terms. That’s why, as well as offering regular friendly contact and a strong campaigning voice, Independent Age can provide you and your family with clear, free and impartial advice on the issues that matter: care and support, money and benefits, health and mobility, bereavement and more….

With older people at the heart of everything we do, we want to share with you, our friends and supporters, our campaign work as we strive to make the United Kingdom a better place in which to grow old.

Our ethos is working proactively and positively to achieve our aims, to improve autism awareness, increase independence skills and use early intervention techniques to improve outcomes for children.

For parents we produce a monthly Newsletter that is sent out to all our members, with current news articles, signposting and reference material and has a Diary of Events detailing everything we are doing the following month.

We help by educating you about the possible difficulties your child may have at the moment or in the future, with advice, support, signposting and information.

We have an Advocate who can help parents with many issues that they may experience when negotiating their way through the education, health and care systems to achieve the best for their children.

There is a commissioned 6 week post-diagnostic course for parents whose children have been recently diagnosed, or who are on the diagnostic pathway. All parents of patients in Nantwich and Rural Care Community are eligible to apply for this free course by filling in this form on the website.
