We will work with you to make sure you get the support to do the things you want, and that your money is being used carefully to improve your life and increase your independence. Your Social Worker or care manager will let you know how much you have to spend.

The ways you can spend the money you receive include:

• to be more independent
• to improve your social life
• to become more involved in your local community by joining local clubs and societies or getting a job or starting a college course
• to have support at home
• to go on holiday or take a short break with your family
• to give your family a break
