Support Choices
Support Choices is a project which is funded through the Scottish Government’s Support in the Right Direction programme. The project helps people living in Perth and Kinross to get the social care and support that they need. The project is now on the way to becoming an independent organisation.
What we're doing
The team is made up of a Project Worker and 3 Community Workers who provide free independent information and advice to anyone who needs it. This could include:
help preparing for or requesting a local authority assessment
help identifying outcomes that suit people
providing information on self-directed support options
exploring other ways to find support in the community
helping with creative ways to use your individual budget
help with employing a PA
signposting to other helpful organisations
providing opportunities to be involved in peer support
The impact it's having so far
