We work together to enhance independence. Our vision is to create a world where disability is not a disadvantage, as envisaged by the social model of disability.

We will connect disabled people to each other and with other people
We will promote CILNI through listening and providing opportunities for disabled people to be heard
We will use personal experience to help inform and influence government policy
We will ensure CILNI services are appropriate and of a high quality
We will expand CILNI membership through recruiting new members and retaining existing members
CILNI is a user-led organisation which means that the organisation is run and controlled by disabled people. Full membership is available to disabled people over 16 years and associate membership is available to non-disabled people or organisations who support our aims. There is no membership fee to join CILNI.
