It provides a positive shift in power and decision m aking that enables people to have a voice\, to be heard and be connected t o each other and their communities.\n\nAfter Real’s last successful work shop on Direct Payments\, we are pleased to announce a further workshop in the Taking Control of Your Life programme. “Creating Your Own Care Plan ” is held by one of our members \, who will share her insight into how y ou can draft your own care plan.\n\nThis online session will be delivered by Jean Eveleigh\, who is a recipient of social care\, and who has been wr iting her own care plan for the last six years. She finds there is a huge difference in quality when she writes the plan and when it is written by s ocial services. Creating her Own Care Plan has been instrumental in her fi ght for receiving the right care she is entitled to.\n\nAt this session\, she will be sharing her story and answering questions on how you can start writing your care plan.\n\nWe will also be joined by Real Advocacy servic e who have over a decade of experience on supporting clients with securing care .\n\nWho the event is for:\n\nDisabled* people and their carers who live in\, or have care that is funded by\, the London borough of Tower Ham lets.\n\nHow to book:\n\n• Sign up here on Eventbrite.\n\n• Email us a t TCOYL@real.org.uk\n\n• Call or text either 07305811946 or 07458304616 to secure your place.\n\nOnce you’ve booked your place\, we’ll send yo u the Zoom link you need to join (and instructions on how to do this) 24 h ours before the event is due to start.\n\nInformation about the Taking Con trol of Your Life project:\n\nReal’s Taking Control of Your Life (TCOYL) project empowers local disabled people to have more control over all aspe cts of their life .

We a im to help disabled people to live independently - where they choose\, how they want\, with all the support they need\, and with the money and resou rces they need to do it.\n\n \;\n\nThe name “Real” is not an acron ym\, but it does stand for the real jobs\, real education\, real incomes\, real choices\, and real participation in society that all disabled people deserve. Real does not exist to give disabled people jobs at Real\, but w e do recognise that having disabled employees and volunteers is one of our strengths because we are more likely to connect and have empathy with the people that we are supporting through shared experience.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thcvs.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/ REAL-CARE-PLAN.png CATEGORIES:Health and Wellbeing Events in Tower Hamlets END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20211031T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
