Local Help My Way supports people who want to provide high-quality, personalised care and support within their local community. Most micro providers delivering regulated personal care are self-employed individuals.
This project enables people receiving support to choose who provides their care and, where appropriate, employ them directly through a private arrangement, helping to maintain choice, continuity and independence.
For non-regulated care and support services, we also welcome small businesses, Community Interest Companies (CICs), charities and other not-for-profit organisations, including Support Staffordshire members, provided they have 10 or fewer people working within the organisation. These organisations may offer services such as companionship, home help, domestic cleaning, gardening, shopping, transport, wellbeing activities, technology support and other practical community services.
