Personal Budgets

A personal budget is a set amount of money allocated specifically for an individual's needs and preferences, often provided by the government or a support organization. It allows the person to decide how to spend their funds on services or support that best suit them, such as care, assistance, or activities. This approach promotes greater choice and control over how resources are used, enabling tailored support rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Personal budgets encourage independence and personalized planning, helping individuals manage their care and support in a way that aligns with their goals and lifestyle.
