National Involvement Network

Improving the involvement of people with support needs in their own lives, services and communities.

Who we are for

Everyone who has a disability or support needs and anyone who supports them.

What we do

We bring people together to share their experiences and ideas about the things that matter to them. As a NIN member you'll meet others and be part of a supportive community. You'll get important information from subject experts and will grow your confidence to speak up. Your voice will influence change.

As an organisation you can put your values into practice by signing up to the Charter for Involvement, written by NIN members.

We started the NIN in 2007. It now regularly reaches over 750 people across Scotland.
