Working with Personal Health Budgets & Direct Payments Information for the voluntary sector
What’s it got to do with us? • Its about shifting power through choice and control from the state to the individual. • If organisations know about Personal Health Budgets and Direct Payments we can tell the people we work with and give them more choice and control over the care and support they need. • As other funding streams diminish this should grow.
Personal Health Budgets, Personal Budgets and Direct Payments • A Personal Health Budget is an amount of money to support a person’s health and wellbeing needs, planned and agreed between the person and their local NHS team. • Personal Budgets are an amount of money councils can allocate to help people who have disability, frailty or vulnerability, get the support they want. • A Direct Payment is the way an individual receives that personal budget if they choose to manage it themselves.

Di’s Diamonds Redbridge Barking and Havering One of the emerging needs for people with multiple long term conditions has been to reduce loneliness and isolation cause by poor health and diminished social circles of support. Di Diamonds This was established by two volunteers in Havering who set up a programme of activities and outings for older people including coffee mornings, knitting group, bowling, Irish Dancing, theatre and museum outings, daytrips, restaurant outings, etc. This has grown in the last 3-4 years and it currently has a reach of 400 older people mainly living in Havering. Programme of activities includes: • Two Coffee mornings every month one at the Bravo Café in Romford and one at the Queen’s Theatre in Hornchurch • A knitting group at the Queen’s Theatre • One Bowling group in Romford on the first Tuesday of every month • Irish Dancing in Forest Gate on the first Thursday on the month. • Several outing to theatre, concerts, museums, gardens, walks each month
What’s it got to do with you? • You currently provide activities that people could spend their money on. • Could you make some of your activities more attractive to these people? • You have facilities that could support other organisations like Di’s Diamonds - win for you increased use of cafes and space. • Thinking longer term – More people who are frail or at a poor level of fitness. How will they know what you offer for them? • More voluntary organisations supporting people – What mutually beneficial relationship could you have with them? How will they know about it?
