November 2023: Engage Britain has now merged with Demos. You can still find all our work from 2019-2023 here, but to get in touch or find out about our new ventures, go to https://demos.co.uk/

"We use direct payments...it gives us the autonomy to recruit people who we think have a good relationship, a personalised relationship... It means that we feel dignified... And in our situation, it's far better than any care agency because of the flexibility, personalised relationships and because of the individualised training that can be provided. And the creativitythat can happen. And the passion, really."
