About Us
SILC was founded as a charity in 1997 to support disabled people in Surrey and has been doing so since then.
As a user-led organisation, we have an in-depth and personal understanding of the challenges facing disabled people in our county and a strong desire to provide the right support services to them.

Our Vision
That every disabled adult, child, older person and carer in Surrey will be able to live more independently, with the same freedoms and opportunities as anyone else.
Our Mission
To provide support and information to enable more people to live independently. Our staff and volunteers work with our clients and customers so that they can make informed choices about their lives. We work in partnership with professionals, agencies and people across Surrey to create an environment where these choices can be fulfilled.
Our Values
SILC believes that everyone can live independently with the right support. At the heart of everything we do is the social model of disability and the concept of full human rights. We believe that these give a basis for treating everyone with respect, understanding and fairness.
We also believe that disabled adults, children, older people and carers can learn from and support each other.
