We know that lots of people live their whole life away from serviceland, finding ways to get the help they need in ways that work for them. Sometimes they make this happen on their own and often they get support from family or friends to make things happen.
We think that people do things like join groups; call on supportive family members, friends or neighbours; employ their own companion, supporter or personal assistant or otherwise weave a highly personalised web of care and support. Get in touch and/or send us your examples and stories that fit this category.
