- We categorically believe that you should. Although support providers charge less than agencies, they still charge around 20/25% of your personal budget. In comparison, we charge 11.5%+VAT and are completely transparent about what we do and what we charge.

Your personal budget expenditure is available at the touch of a button if required by your Local Authority and the 11.5%+VAT you save on fees can be spent on improving your levels of care or on paying your carers more.
