The ILP provides supported accommodation for adults with learning disabilities. It aims to provide high quality service for adults with learning disabilities who have their own tenancies within the community. It provides tenants with the right amount and type of support so they can have the kind of life experience most of us take for granted. The ILP is a local government project, which is part of Shetland Islands Council's Education and Social Care Services.
Shetland Arts Development Agency
SA is Shetland's lead arts body. Formed in early 2006, it brought together the work of two organisations whose collective histories provide Shetland Arts with a local, national and international reputation for arts development and delivery built over twenty years of work and innovation.
Shetland Arts today runs the Garrison Theatre, Bonhoga Gallery, and promotes a year round programme of music, theatre literature and visual arts and crafts events. It also delivers arts development activity across a range of art forms through a dedicated team of specialist art form officers. On the horizon is a new music and cinema venue for Shetland with an estimated opening date of Spring 2010.
Hjaltland Housing Association
was created from a merger between Scottish Homes Ltd, formed in 1974 and the then Hjaltland Housing association, formed in 1975. These associations were originally formed to aid the Shetland Islands Council in providing housing for incoming oil industry workers. Up until 1982 the association provided 88 houses , most of which were family houses.
Prior to 1984, administration was carried out in Edinburgh until a review concluded that an improved service would require fulltime Shetland staff. Since then 424 properties have been purchased or constructed, distributed across Shetland, from Unst to Sumburgh and Sandness to Whalsay.
