Glasgow Centre for Inclusive Living

GCIL is run by disabled people for disabled people. We believe that barriers disable people, not impairments. Our self-directed support, payroll services, projects and membership enable disabled people to assert more control over their lives as equal citizens.

Glasgow Centre for Inclusive Living provides:

Support

One-to-one assistance, advice, information for disabled people who want to manage their own support (self-directed support).

GCIL Offices offices offer Support Services in Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire North and South Lanarkshire local authority areas.

Payroll

A range of payroll options that take the strain out of employing personal assistants or paying agencies.

Consultancy

Organisational and policy development on disability equality, diversity issues and access audits. Disability equality and diversity training tailored to your organisation’s needs.

Right to Speak

 In conjunction with Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board we hold a range of Augmentative and Alternative Communication Equipment that is available to try or borrow on a trial basis.

GCIL promotes independent living. Independent living means disabled people of all ages having the same freedom, choice, dignity and control as other citizens at home, at work, and in the community. It does not mean living by yourself or fending for yourself. It means rights to practical assistance and support to participate in society and live an ordinary life.
