Independent Living Supports' vision is to build a thriving, resilient and empowered community through a sense of belonging and purpose. Our unique holistic one-to one approach remains the foundation of our work with clients. Our approach is needs led, working with the client usually up to a year or longer, building healthier foundations to advance a person from crisis point to one where they can independently manage situations. The Charity consists of two services. youth (13-25 age group) and adults (25 plus age group). We have two offices – Dumfries and Stranraer. ILS accept self-referrals through our youth service and can assist with some self-directed support packages for young people too. Our adult service referrals come through two funded programmes – peer or our ‘My Great Start’ (Wheatley Foundation) if you are a new tenant. ILS can accept adult self-directed support clients who have been assessed by the social services team.
