Self Directed Futures

Self Directed Futures is a social enterprise that shares part of the profits we make to support the wider work of Citizen Network, a global cooperative dedicated to furthering self-directed support approaches. Our mission is to help create a world where we believe and act as if everyone, every single person, matters. Achieving citizenship and self-direction for all is our main goal and at the heart of what we do.

Our achievements include:

• Implementing Individual Service Funds (ISFs) across England
• Training and supporting over 300 social workers and support provider staff to date
• Piloting ISFs for Children
• Supporting 3 VCCSE organisations to provide support brokerage and matching services for local citizens looking for care and support
• Working with NHS England to create guidance on integrated personal budgets

We want to build on this work and continue to support many more organisations to develop their approaches to personalised support.

As members of the Self-Directed Support Network, an international movement, we are also passionate about promoting the development of self-directed Support, citizenship, inclusion and diversity around the world - we see that being part of the Cooperative will help further catalyse this.
