  3. Funding • First received funding from DCC in 1997 • £20,000 per year (15% of yearly budget) • To provide an information & advice service • I) Generic Info • II) Welfare Rights • III) DDA Advice • Contracts awarded in 2004 for Direct Payments Support Service

  4. What’s It Like? • Is 2-Way • Too often considered that the council should involve ULO but DD believes it should be vice-versa too e.g. DD involves the council in our funding bids such as Big Help project • Share ideas with each other • Open hot-line of communication between heads of both groups

  5. What’s It Like? • It’s great being able to move things fast whilst LA’s have to go through red tape • It’s also a very equal partnership, no party more demanding than the other • Actually listen to us e.g. • www.dowhatyouwant.org
