Together is Better is a charity aimed at championing personal budgets in order to improve people's health and well-being. They see personal budgets as a unique opportunity to encourage integration and partnership between support services, helping people live independently in their own home - with complete control over how they receive their support and who provides it. Together is Better also campaigns for an increase in donations from the private sector to the charity and voluntary sector, in order to provide a sustainable future for the services that have a positive impact on people's quality of life and further strengthen the partnership approach to their care at home. Together is Better provides a free online directory of charitable and voluntary services that people can search to find local support - with the goal of improving their quality of life.
