Support Choices is an independent charity based in Dunkeld, serving individuals across Perth and Kinross. Funded by the Scottish Government’s Support in the Right Direction initiative, we offer free, impartial advice and assistance to people navigating social care and Self-Directed Support (SDS) options. Our mission is to empower individuals to make informed choices about their care, enhancing independence and quality of life.
Support Choices uses a Community Brokerage model to help individuals identify and access the support that best suits their needs. This personalised approach involves brokers who:
Spend time understanding the individual's lifestyle and aspirations
Explore support options using knowledge of local communities and networks
Assist in accessing community-based resources, applying for funding, or connecting with statutory services
Provide guidance on SDS options, helping individuals make informed decisions
For those choosing to employ Personal Assistants (PAs) through SDS, Support Choices offers guidance on:
Understanding the roles and responsibilities of a PA
Navigating the recruitment process
Accessing training resources and support networks
Actively promoting PA work and helping recruit new PAs into the workforce
