What we do
You Direct offers help with planning and organising support for people, their families and their carers.
Planning your support package
This means
• Spending time with you to discover what a good life looks like for you
• Creating a plan with you that meets your goals
• Networking and utilising local resources to build a plan that offers value for money
• Providing you with a costing to ensure you can negotiate a budget that suits your life
• Supporting you, if necessary, to negotiate with your local authority regarding your individual budget
• Advice on employment law, managing a budget and any requirements of your individual budget
Making your support work
After the planning stage, we can help you to:
• Build a circle of supportive friends and family who can look out for you, speak up for you when you need them to and help you achieve your dreams - a "Circle of Support".
• Train your circle of support so they can take care of things like employing staff, if you want them to.
• Maintain and modify your circle of support to ensure it is working for you
• Connect you to a purposeful life within your community, building bridges between you and your neighbours and other local people who can help you to feel part of the place you live in
