Supporting People is a national programme that started on 1st April 2003. It
pays for housing related support services and thus helps vulnerable people with
such issues to live independently in the community.
VRDS manage the Supporting People programme in Vale
Royal Borough and employ a disability support worker to implement the programme.
Typical examples of the support work include:
 | Advice and support on home repairs and improvements |
| Help in managing finances and benefit claims |
| Emotional support |
| Help in setting up and maintaining a tenancy. |
This support is designed to help a person to do more, becoming more independent
within the home and the community. The support worker makes home visits.
The Supporting People service is operated from:
Vale Royal Disability Services
4 Hartford Business Centre
Chester Road, Hartford
Northwich CW8 2AB
Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 4.00pm.
