  • Disability Research on Independent Living & Learning (DRILL)

Disability Research on Independent Living & Learning (DRILL)

DRILL is a Four Nation Research Project which delivered the world's first major research programme led by disabled people. It ended in June 2021 but it's legacy will live on to lobby for change.

DRILL (Disability Research on Independent Living and Learning) was an innovative 5 year UK wide Programme led by disabled people, for disabled people and funded by the National Lottery Community Fund (NLCF).

Launched in 2015, the Programme was led by Disability Action NI in partnership with Disability Rights UK, Disability Wales and Inclusion Scotland.

As the DRILL programme came to an end (June 2021) the DRILL Impact Report was launched at Virtual Summit on 10 June 2021.
