If you qualify for funded support from the Council, we will give you more choice and control over how your support is provided. If you qualify we will offer you some short-term support first to help you to become more independent. This may be of help to you if you have just had a stay in hospital for example. If you are eligible for longer-term support, we’ll tell you how much the Council will pay towards this support. We would discuss with you the money and benefits you have and tell you if you need to pay towards your own support and how much that will be. We’ll then work with you to create your own support plan, which details how and when you want your support to be provided and by whom. The good news is that there is lots of help available to help you create your support plan.

I know how important access to information is in delivering opportunity and choice to disabled people. This guide, like previous editions, provides the information with contact details for many City Centre traders, local organisations and Council services. The Council, in partnership with local organisations of disabled people and the business community, continues the drive towards a barrier-free built environment for all citizens, and visitors to the City. I hope this guide complements the excellent levels of accessibility and customer services provided by many City Centre businesses and organisations. Finally, I’d like to say a big thank you to all the businesses, organisations and Council services that have supported the guide through advertising. They have made this guide possible. I hope you find the guide helpful.
