Small Supports organisations provide support through a service designed around an individual. This bespoke support enables people to live more independently and feel more included in their community. This NHS funded programme of work focuses on developing new small support organisations able to support people with the most complicated of support needs and/or experience of institutionalisation to live better lives in the community.

This approach to supporting people is based on the long term and successful work of organisations like Beyond Limits based in Plymouth, C-Change in Glasgow and Positive Support for You in Middlesbrough along with others. This workshop both introduces the programme of work, and gives you a chance to hear from Dave Barras, who has many years of experience of supporting people in Middlesbrough.

Open to local authorities and health leads, commissioners and wider stakeholders interested in learning and understanding more about growing new small and bespoke support organisations able to support autistic people or people with a learning disability.
