Blue Sky Brokers have been at the cutting edge during the transformation of social care from Direct Payments Personal Budgets.

Blue Sky Brokers are Pioneers in all things Direct Payment, providing support to individuals for over 15 years, giving individuals Choice and Control around their care and support needs, to live independently in the community. Formerly a service based with Disability Direct, Blue Sky is now set up as it's own social enterprise ready, willing and able to support disabled and older people right through the PB process - from getting a support plan to finding providers to fulfil your needs - we're here for you!

💙 This Movember, we're checking in on the men who care.

Whether you're an unpaid carer supporting a loved one, a Personal Assistant or working in social care, caring for others can sometimes mean putting your own wellbeing last.

Men's mental health matters, and nobody should feel they have to struggle in silence.

This month, we're encouraging more conversations, more check-ins and more support for the men who dedicate so much of their time to others.

Because carers need care too. 💙

Are you a self employed carer or PA?

PocketCarer is running a short survey on Making Tax Digital, the National Care Service and the support carers would find helpful.

It takes about three minutes, it's anonymous, and the findings will be shared with government to make sure self employed carers' views are heard. https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0zwQk00
