Support to access social opportunities

When a person has a disability, they will sometimes need extra support to get out and use leisure facilities.

If they are eligible, it may be possible to use a Direct Payment to help them to access social opportunities.

For example to:

  • pay for leisure opportunities directly
  • employ someone to help them to access them

Children's Services and Adult Social Care can also tell you about: 

  • services which provide specialist leisure opportunities
  • community and voluntary services which can help people to access these services.
