This projects will use the funding to implement an innovative model of self-managed care co-operatives in the Edinburgh area. They have already piloted one such group, the Encompass group, which works with families and support workers of older adults (40-55) with learning difficulties and believe that the model they have developed can be rolled out and adapted for use by other groups. They are aiming to have five groups running and sustainable by the end of the three year award.
