Thurrock Centre for Independent Living

That this House commends the Thurrock Centre for Independent Living (TCIL) for its long history of supporting the most vulnerable residents in Thurrock; welcomes the community spirit and altruism that TCIL has demonstrated, serving as an inspiration to all; regrets that TCIL is on the verge of closure and laments the loss of amenity this would cause for those in greatest need in Thurrock; and congratulates its volunteers for their innovation and generosity, including but not limited to supporting disabled residents into work, assisting vulnerable residents with Lasting Power of Attorney applications, and helping with access to disability benefits.
