Respite Breaks

Is your ICB no longer funding your PAs to accompany you on a holiday break? One of our core contributors has developed a process and documents to help you complain about this. It worked for him - have a look at them here.


MyCareBudget - New Partnership Launch

We’re delighted to announce a new partnership between peoplehub and MyCareBudget.org! Peoplehub is pleased to take responsibility for funding MyCareBudget.org going forward in order to sustain this vital resource. This has so far included creating a new logo for the website, and further developments are planned.

Watch this space!

MyCareBudget was created by you and me - a community who wished to freely share our lived experience of running care budgets by offering a wide range of templates for download, without charge. The templates and other resources will be useful to anyone who employs Personal Assistants (PAs) or carers. To find out more, visit our What is this? page.

  • If you want an alternative to how this website is displayed, then visit our Accessibility page.
  • Want to contact us? Want to share one of your documents? Then email us at [email protected].
  • Check out What's New. We now have over 90 templates and staffing policies.
  • Have a look at what's popular here, and your kind words about this website here.
