We’re looking for people who receive direct payments to be the face of our campaign and help others lead the lives they want. The aim of our campaign is to encourage people to think creatively about what they can do with their direct payment to help enhance their independence, and to help others decide whether a direct payment is the right choice for them.  

People relate to those who share similar experiences and challenges in life, so we're looking for those who have experience with direct payments to tell their story. This could be in words, in photographs or ideally through video, which we know is far more effective and engaging. Our stories will be used on our website, social media channels and publications to help encourage others to seek the right support for them. 

If you're an adult or a carer of an adult and are happy to talk about your experience of using direct payments, please get in touch! We can arrange to meet you and explain the process and help you to present your story.

If you or someone you know would like to join us please contact us at direct.payments@shropshire.gov.uk
