19th June, 12 – 3pm: Peer Support Network Meet Up & Lunch.
The Peer Support Network will be recapping on what the network has done in the last year, followed by lunch between 1 & 2 (Project Art Works will provide the food and drink), and then we’ll have an open discussion about what you’d like the network to offer in the future. This could include things like:
- Continuing Healthcare (CHC) support – information, reviews, eligibility assessments, appeals
- Personalised budgets
- Direct payments (DP) – what DPs are for and how you can use them
- P.A.T.H planning for the life of the person you support and their future
- More Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Employment Support Allowance (ESA) workshops
- Supported employment opportunities
- How to run your own provision: employment, rotas, training, supervision
We can provide a supported activity for the person you care for if needed. Please let us know. Even if you can’t attend for the full 3 hours, please do just drop in when you can.
On booking please let us know of any dietary requirements.
