INDEPENDENT LIVING ALTERNATIVES ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020

PEOPLE HAVE AN INALIENABLE RIGHT TO INDEPENDENT LIVING. IT IS OFTEN NOT UNDERSTOOD WHAT THIS MEANS: IT IS ABOUT HAVING MORE THAN AN ACCESSIBLE ENVIRONMENT AND BASIC PHYSICAL NEEDS PROVIDED FOR; IT IS ABOUT A RIGHT TO LIVE SPONTANEOUSLY; A RIGHT TO POSITIVELY PROMOTE OUR DIFFERENCE AS DISABLED PEOPLE, IN ESSENCE, INDEPENDENT LIVING IS A MISNOMER: AS DISABLED PEOPLE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO JUST THINK ABOUT LIVING AS ANYBODY ELSE.

PROMOTING INDEPENDENCE SINCE 1989

ANTHONY STEPHEN OATES 1956 - 2021

trustees from day one and was Company Secretary, a role which he held
for many years. He ensured ILA held regular meetings, kept minutes, obeyed
the rules and generally kept order, none of which is easy in a room of very
autonomous and opinionated PA Users!
ILA followed him around the country from Chelmsford, to the Lake District
and finally to Weston-Super-Mare. The surprise when he said he was moving
to a village in The Lakes to run a B&B, which turned out to be little more than

a row of houses! Followed by the subsequent realisation that the concept of
independent living and personal assistance had not quite reached that part
of the country, led to a long term relationship of ILA providing PAs.
Tony will be much missed by everyone at Independent Living Alternatives.

A PANDEMIC – COVID 19

----- Start of picture text -----
Everything became focused on remaining safe and doing whatever
necessary to ensure that Covid-19 did not impact on anyone working for or
using ILA services. And it worked – we survived and made it to the other side.
We have all learnt to live and work with PPE, know the difference between
lateral flow and PCR as well as handwashing and sanitising and the
importance of wearing a mask and good ventilation.

----- Start of picture text -----
ILA owes a massive debt of gratitude to both PAs and PA Users, to staff and
the Management Committee who worked together to ensure that everything
continued to work effectively and efficiently to continue to promote
independent living.
The pandemic also highlighted how enabling individual disabled people to
determine their own lifestyle choices provides safe and responsive services to
meet individual need in times of national crisis.
----- End of picture text -----

----- Start of picture text -----
The past year was the catalyst that ILA needed to switch to a completely
electronic working system enabling staff to work anywhere with ease and not
require the physical presence of an office. Although, we have returned to
office based working, we are taking considerable advantage of platforms
such as Zoom and Teams. This has proved to be highly effective and also very
efficient in relation to the time saved in not having to travel around London.
