“My Life, My Way”
On Friday 7th March 2008 we had a day on Person Centred Planning called “My Life, My Way”. Over 70 people came, and it was a really enjoyable day! We learnt about Person Centred Planning and how it has helped people’s dreams come true. We got a chance to think about what our dreams and gifts are, and what we want for the future.
“My Life, My Choice Day”
We had a day in April 2007 so our members could hear about direct payments and how they can help people be more independent. We also heard about the ‘In Control’ project that is being piloted in Bournemouth.
