How can we help?

Your Independent Living Co-Ordinator will explain to you what your responsibilities are, they can include becoming an employer, buying services from an agency or dealing with self-employed workers.

Your Independent Living Co-Ordinator will also explain to you your options to manage the funds yourself, or if you would like People First to manage them for you.
