Individualised Funding sounds great on paper. Then we actually tried to understand it.
It's really common that people get allocated Individualised Funding and don't spend anything for months, because nobody really explained how it works.
That's what this workshop is for. What you can use it for, how to work with your Host, and why it doesn't have to be as complicated as it feels.

Free workshop on 6 August. Morning and evening sessions.

Most support worker job ads tell you almost nothing about the person you’d actually be working with.

Drivers licence ✓

Flexible availability ✓

Experience preferred ✓

…and that’s about it.

At Flying Kites, we write ads that attract the right person - not just any person. Real information about who you’d be supporting, honest hours, and a genuine sense of why the role matters.

Because the people we support deserve someone who chose this role on purpose. 💚

Thinking about finding the right support worker for you or your family?

We’d love to help.
