02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Ayrshire Independent Living Network (AILN) is a Disabled People’s Organisation supporting people across Ayrshire to live independently with choice and control. AILN delivers a wide range of services including self-directed support, payroll, employability support, and training opportunities for people, unpaid carers, and organisations. We also support the development of local micro-enterprises, helping to build flexible, community-based care options. Our community projects, such as dementia befriending and wellbeing cafés, reduce isolation and promote inclusion. Working in partnership, AILN empowers people, families, and unpaid carers while strengthening communities and creating sustainable, person-centred support.
