Independent Living Support has a dedicated and friendly Housing Support team covering Dumfries, Upper Nithsdale and Stranraer. Our Youth Development Project has workers based in Dumfries and Stranraer. We offer practical, emotional and social support to people in need of a little help. In 2018, after a vote by our Service Users, we have added Mental Health Support to our services.
We were founded in 2002 by a Social Worker and have been under new management since January 2017. Our services have carved a reputation for integrity, inclusion, friendliness, fairness and warmth. Supporting around 350 people a year across the region we hope to further align our services with our communities.
We currently deliver Housing Support on behalf of Dumfries & Galloway Council and Youth Services in partnership with key funders.
