dl foundation

DLF is a national charity providing impartial advice, information and training on independent living since 1969. It is a founder member of the Information Standard, a certification scheme for health and social care information. We are the UKs leading source of impartial information and expert advice on independent living. A national charity, we have built up over 40 years an unparalleled range of information on daily living equipment and other useful advice for people who might need some help in living their live to the full. With a huge range of equipment available, sometimes it can be confusing. How do you know what is available? Where do you go to buy equipment? How do you know what is right for you? How do you know if a supplier is reputable? DLF provides all the answers to these questions. You will be amazed at the sheer inventiveness of some of these tools for living. You can put your cats dinner on the floor without bending down, you can remind your mum who has a memory problem to take her keys as she goes out of the house or you can trek up hills even though you cannot walk. Our vision DLF wants every older or disabled person to be able to exercise choice over their lives to be treated with respect and dignity to live independently or with support and to have the best quality of life. Our mission DLF wants every older or disabled person to have the impartial information and expert advice they need to make choices about their daily lives - and front-line staff to be well trained and well informed.
