Assist UK is the headquarters of an independent voluntary organisation with a network of Disabled/Independent Living Centres (DLCs/ILCs) throughout the UK. Centres offer a range of products and equipment designed to make life easier for people who have difficulty with such daily activities such as bending, reaching, getting in and out of chairs, bathing and personal care.

• DLCs/ILCs offer people opportunities to see and try out a wide range of products to find those that suit their individual need.
• DLCs/ILCs provide unbiased expert advice and information about what is available, how much it costs and where to get it.
• DLCs/ILCs specialise in a wide range of products from complex disability equipment through to those designed to help with everyday activities.
• DLCs/ILCs offer solutions to practical difficulties in daily living, whether they arise from ageing or disability.

The range of products and equipment available at local DLCs/ILCs varies.
