Count Me In

Since 2005, we have run a specialist service which can provide tailored support to individuals in all aspects of their lives. This can be from a few hours a week to a full weeks programme of 1:1 (or more) support to individuals who want to have more control over their support via Direct Payments/Individual Budgets.

We provide support to individuals and parents/carers to access their support entitlement via Social Care. We also help people manage their money and the employment of support staff. We recruit, employ and manage staff on their behalf and staff can be matched with individuals and their needs. The service offers personalised services for people to choose how they spend their day.

Count Me In staff support clients within the home, going shopping, pursuing their interests, travelling outside local areas, using public transport, attending college and fulfilling other choices.

Customers choose the support worker that best suits their personaility, cultural, spiritual and language needs.
