The highly anticipated Independent Living Scotland (ILS) event will be taking place at SEC Glasgow on the 26th and 27th of September with many big names scheduled to exhibit over the two days. ILS is now in its fourth year and it has quickly established itself as the premier independent living and disability lifestyle event in Scotland. If you or somebody that you know has a disability or mobility issues then this is a terrific opportunity to see the latest developments and products which could change your life forever.
What to Expect
There will be over 100 companies exhibiting at ILS which will allow visitors to get the best advice and see new products from industry experts. There will also be various features and experiences which are sure to impress and spread important knowledge about mobility and independent living in the community and at home. The ILS also has a fun, welcoming and friendly atmosphere which makes it a great place to meet new people – there is a refreshment area that serves as a social hub and allows you to plan where you are going next. There are also wheelchairs and mobility scooters available to hire for free of charge at the Mobility Loan Point (available on a first-come-first-serve basis).
Allied Mobility
One of the key exhibitors that people will be keen to see is Allied Mobility – the UK’s leading wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) specialist and a pioneer in mobility. Allied Mobility has a wide range of cars, MPVs and minibus conversions that can provide a great deal of freedom and independence to those with mobility issues. At ILS they will be exhibiting some of their latest and best products which could transform the lives of many.
Show manager from QD Events Jenna Gardner had the following to say about Allied Mobility’s presence at ILS:
“Now in its fourth year, Independent Living Scotland is the region’s largest disability, lifestyle and self-supported living event. As the organiser’s, our aim is to show people with disabilities or impairments that a greater level of independence can be achieved. Having a specially adapted vehicle an play such an important part in improving quality of life and we’re delighted that visitors will once again get the chance to see the fantastic range of vehicles that Allied Mobility offer.

“As the UK’s leading wheelchair accessible vehicle supplier, we know just how valuable it is for customers to be able to see and try out different vehicles at first hand. Specialist events like Indpendent Living present an ideal opportunity for wheelchair users and carers to do just that.
“These exhibitions are also a great source of feedback, helping us learn more about people’s needs, which in turn we can use to inform the development of our next generation of wheelchair accessible vehicles.”
ILS looks set to be a brilliant two days where industry professionals, healthcare professionals, carers and those with mobility problems come together to discover the latest developments and products that allow for independent living at home or in the community.
