Join LivinToGeThere for a conference celebrating Self-directed Support and the opportunities it can bring.

LivingTogeThere is a Community Interest Company dedicated to guiding people through Self-directed Support. This conference is sponsored by the Life Changes Trust. The conference will focus on thinking differently, challenging the ‘usual’ and exploring creative ways to make Self-directed Support work. You will learn about Creative examples of Self-directed Support. We will demystify Self-directed Support (policies, jargon and loooooong processes). You will explore the benefits of working together and Advocacy, Brokerage and Mentoring.

service development.

needed then, what they need now.
