Ealing Centre for Independent Living. ECIL is an organisation of disabled people working to eliminate the barriers preventing disabled people from living full and independent lives.
Come to ECIL for everything you want to know about Disability, but were too afraid to ask. We offer advice, information and we can help you get what you need to live an independent life. It's FREE to join, so why not become a member.
Help us save the Carers’ Centre
The council no longer wishes to pay the rent on our South Ealing Road premises and the alternative we have been offered is not suitable. Although funding for carers continues, we are in danger of losing a dedicated centre where we can continue the same range of services we’ve put so much into establishing. Please help us by emailing the relevant councillors or writing a letter. Ring the Carers’ Centre on 020 8840 1566 to find out how.
