You First Support Services CIC

🏡 From uncertainty to independence.

Like many parent carers, Mel wanted the very best future for her son, Cam. Together, we explored what supported living might look like and, through listening, planning and partnership working and finally identified what would truly help him flourish.

With support from You First and Places for People, Cam has successfully moved into his own home, gaining greater independence, confidence and control over his life.

For Parent Carer Forums, Local Authorities and Commissioners, this is an example of how collaborative, person-centred support can deliver positive and sustainable outcomes for people and families.

Because the right support isn't about fitting people into services. It's about designing support around the individual.

💛 A message from our You First family 💛

Today we’re coming together to support one of our incredible Support Workers, whose young grandson is currently in hospital fighting Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) — a fast‑growing blood cancer.

He began treatment with a plan for four rounds of 10‑day chemotherapy. After completing his first round, doctors made the difficult decision that he now needs a much more intensive second round of chemo, followed by a Bone Marrow Transplant.
This is an unimaginably tough journey for him and his family, and we want them to feel the strength of our whole community behind them. 💛
You can read more, send your support, or follow his story here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/p/dWwp_vSE

How you can help?
Not just for Roo, but for anyone facing this fight - AML and other blood cancers often rely on bone marrow transplants, and finding a match can be life‑saving. By joining the bone marrow donor register, you could one day be the person who gives someone — a child like Roo, or another family’s loved one — the chance to keep fighting.

If you’re able, please consider signing up. It’s a small act that can make an enormous difference.

Together, we lift each other up. 💛✨

Achieving more through support 💛

Support isn’t about doing things for someone — it’s about creating the opportunities, confidence and independence to help them do things for themselves. 🌟

From developing new skills and experiencing new things, to making decisions and achieving milestones like completing Bikeability Level 3 🚲 — look at what EB has achieved!

Every achievement, big or small, represents progress, confidence and greater independence.

We’re so proud of how far EB has come, and excited to see what comes next. 💛✨

Support worker, this one’s for you 🖤

You’re doing big, important, life-changing work — but that does not mean you need to run yourself into the ground to prove it.

You can care deeply and have boundaries.

You can be amazing at your job and need rest.
You can support others and still ask for proper pay, respect, and safe work.

Being a good support worker doesn’t mean being available 24/7, saying yes to everything, or pretending burnout is “just part of the job.”
No. That’s not passion. That’s exhaustion in a hi-vis vest.

You matter too.

So here’s your reminder:
✨ Rest is professional.
✨ Boundaries are professional.
✨ Wanting fair pay is professional.
✨ Asking for respect is professional.
✨ Knowing your worth is professional.

Support worker, you’re a big deal.

Act like it.
