Purpose of Individual Budgets?

The purpose of Individual Budgets is to encourage people to take responsibility for their own care and support needs, to be able to manage their own budget and choose the services that suit them best using money from different funds more flexibly than is currently agreed under present arrangements.

Individual Budgets aims to offer ‘joined up support’ by accessing more than just social services funding. The funds that can be combined in an Individual Budget are:

  • Social Services Funding
  • Supporting People funding
  • Independent Living Fund
  • Disabled Facilities Grant
  • Integrated Community Equipment Services
  • Access to Work

In Kensington and Chelsea, unlike other pilot sites, we have made a commitment to offering Individual Budgets combining all of the above funds.

We are proud that The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea - as the only inner London local authority in the pilot project – has been chosen to offer this service to our residents.
