Becoming a member of Ruils

Ruils is a user-led organisation and we take pride in the fact that over 75% of our Board of Directors are disabled people.

Although you can access our services without being a member, becoming a member of Ruils allows you to have your say in the way in which our organisation is run.

Members are given voting rights and in effect we are answerable to you. You can decide who you would like to see running Ruils and through them the direction that you would like to see Ruils take.
