Do you live in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames?

Do you need information or support to live independently?

On 1st November 2019 a new boroughwide Community Independent Living Service (CILS) began. The service was commissioned by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames local authority.

The CILS Information Navigation service is provided by Richmond AID – see below.

The CILS Health and Well-being contract is delivered by 20 local charities and the partnership is led by Age UK Richmond upon Thames.

Together we are the CILS Partnership, supporting people to live independently, improve wellbeing and stay connected in their local community.

You can download our CILS Partnership Leaflet and CILS Partnership Poster.  See our CILS Partnership Directory for more information about partners and other local voluntary sector services or watch our short CILS Partnership video clip.
