Working with Personal Health Budgets & Direct Payments

Information for the voluntary sector

What’s it got to do with us?

• Its about shifting power through choice and control from the state to the

individual.

• If organisations know about Personal Health Budgets and Direct Payments we

can tell the people we work with and give them more choice and control over the care and support they need.

• As other funding streams diminish this should grow.

• A Personal Health Budget is an amount of money to support a person’s

health and wellbeing needs, planned and agreed between the person and their local NHS team.

• Personal Budgets are an amount of money councils can allocate to help

people who have disability, frailty or vulnerability, get the support they want.

• A Direct Payment is the way an individual receives that personal budget if

they choose to manage it themselves.

One of the emerging needs for people with multiple long term conditions has been to reduce loneliness and isolation cause by poor health and diminished social circles of support. Di Diamonds

This was established by two volunteers in Havering who set up a programme of activities and outings for older people including coffee mornings, knitting group, bowling, Irish Dancing, theatre and museum outings, daytrips, restaurant outings, etc. This has grown in the last 3-4 years and it currently has a reach of 400 older people mainly living in Havering. Programme of activities includes:

• Two Coffee mornings every month one at the Bravo Café in Romford and one at the Queen’s Theatre

in Hornchurch

• A knitting group at the Queen’s Theatre
• One Bowling group in Romford on the first Tuesday of every month
• Irish Dancing in Forest Gate on the first Thursday on the month.
• Several outing to theatre, concerts, museums, gardens, walks each month

Di’s Diamonds Redbridge Barking and Havering

What’s it got to do with you?

• You currently provide activities that people could spend their money on.
• Could you make some of your activities more attractive to these people?
• You have facilities that could support other organisations like Di’s Diamonds -

win for you increased use of cafes and space.

• Thinking longer term – More people who are frail or at a poor level of fitness.

How will they know what you offer for them?

• More voluntary organisations supporting people – What mutually beneficial

relationship could you have with them? How will they know about it?

Co-ordination of free holiday activities and healthy food for disadvantaged children during 2019 summer holidays.

• Three million children in the UK are at risk of being hungry during

the school holidays

• 7 / 10 chance if you live in the poorest areas you may struggle to

feed everyone during the school holidays

• 7.4% children in education in Hertfordshire are eligible for free

school meals

• 20% schools above the national average of free school meals
• 12% young people under 16 in Herts deemed to be living poverty
• School children's fitness decreases and obesity levels increase in

the school holidays. These effects can be up to 18 times worse for children from the most deprived areas.

The Problem

DfE Opportunity

2018 School holidays - £2million – Street Games £9 million nationally – for 9 Regional areas Potentially more in the future

DfE Opportunity

Local Co-ordinators

• Develop a local plan for provision in their area based on what

they know about supply and demand in their area

• Award funding to holiday club providers
• Support providers to meet the new minimum standards
• Promote and advertise provision
• Work with local services to ensure a joined up approach –

including referrals

• Develop sustainable approaches

Outcomes of the programmes

Children should; Eat more healthily Be more active over the summer holidays Take part in engaging activities which support the development of resilience, character and wellbeing Be safe and not isolated Have a greater knowledge of health and nutrition Be more engaged with school and other local services

Ideally projects should offer as a minimum:

• 4 hours of provision
• 4 days a week
• 4 weeks of the year
• Or children should be able to access it across a number of

services

The programme

Ideally projects should offer as a minimum:

• Food: one meal a day (breakfast, lunch or tea). All food including snacks must meet

school food standards

• Nutritional Education: include an element of nutritional education each day aimed a

improving children’s knowledge and awareness of healthy eating

• Enriching activities: fun enriching activities that provide children with opportunities to

develop new skills or knowledge

• Physical activities: clubs must provide activities which meet the Physical Activity

Guidelines

• Policies and procedures
