Self Directed Support
Self Directed Support puts you in control of your care - helping you live life the way you want. This means empowering you to make your own choices and allowing you to be as independent as possible.
Self Directed Support has lots of different names, but one goal - to give you the power to take control of your life. It usually involves financial assistance in the form of personal budgets, individual budgets or direct payments.
Whatever your circumstances, we will help you make the most of your support and help you make decisions about the best care for you.
Support in Your Community
If you have mental health issues we can offer you one to one support, wherever you are - in your own home or at various community locations across the country. We can help you take control of your life and face the future with confidence.
1:1 Community Support
We'll help you create your own tailored package of support that's right for you - from the right people, at the right time.
1:1 Housing Related Support

We can also offer:
- Help with budgeting, benefits and debt advice
