Surrey Independent Living Council (SILC) is a voluntary organisation led and run by disabled people. We believe that every disabled adult, child, older person and carer should be able to live independently with the same choices, opportunities and control over their lives as anyone else.

We run a variety of training sessions and courses for disabled employers and people who work as (or want to work as) Personal Assistants to disabled people.
