The Independent Living Centre

You can also contact The Independent Living Centre which offers a free and impartial assessment and information service to anyone looking for equipment to help them to live independently. Qualified NHS occupational therapists can offer:

• advice on daily living equipment and technology that can help you in your everyday life and keep you safe
• ‘before you buy‘ guides giving points to consider and price guides for many pieces of equipment
• the opportunity to visit the centre for a 1:1 assessment with an occupational therapist to try out items of equipment

If you want to buy equipment locally please check the supplier list here.
