Abstract
The purpose of the Independent Living Fund Scotland is to empower disabled people to control their own support systems. Established as a ‘closed’ fund in 2015, it has been threatened with eventual closure through attrition. In response, a campaign was organised to open the fund, bolstered by two ‘social return on investment’ evaluations. As a result, the fund was opened in April 2024. This article discusses the background of the Independent Living Fund Scotland, celebrates its opening and attributes its success to being a purpose-led organisation that helps disabled people live purposeful lives.
