Independent Living Alternatives (ILA) is a social enterprise established in 1989 that enables disabled people to live independently. Many disabled people want self-control over their own lives and hire personal assistants to support this.

ILA provides innovative and flexible alternatives to institutional and domiciliary “care” provision through a flexible range of personal assistance services informed by disabled people mainly but not exclusively in and around London.

A disabled person – just as a non-disabled person – should have control of their own lives. ILA won’t do things “to you”; ILA offer a bespoke service and provide a range of services to pick and choose from:

• Recruiting PAs  
• Managing PAs  
• Training and advice for PA Users 
• You can be employer  
• ILA can be employer
