AILN delivers a wide range of services including self-directed support, payroll, employability support, and training opportunities for people, unpaid carers, and organisations. We also support the development of local micro-enterprises, helping to build flexible, community-based care options.

This will be done with the aim of improving the conditions of life of these clients, and to use this support to help them to live a fully inclusive life within the wider community.
