Derbyshire Coalition for Inclusive Living (DCIL) is an organisation of disabled people. It works to apply disabled people's own ideas and experience to developing services and public policies. Derbyshire Coalition for Inclusive Living (DCIL) exists because disabled people realised that disability is caused by the way society is organised, and not by the way their bodies, senses or minds work. Derbyshire Coalition for Inclusive Living (DCIL) aims to provide independent, integrated living opportunities to disabled people through a range of services. This support is based on the seven needs identified by disabled people: Information, Counselling, Housing, Technical Aids, Personal Assistance, Transport and Access. These services include an Information Service, Peer Counselling Services and Direct Payments Support Service. Services to businesses are also provided.
