Penderels Trust

Penderels Trust is a not-for-profit organisation that supports people with disabilities and long term health conditions to live independently.  Our vision is for a world where disabled people can just get on with their lives.  One example of how we enable this is through supporting them with purchasing their care. Most of the people we work with receive a direct payment (a sum of money from their local authority) to purchase their care and support package.  A direct payment puts the individual in control of how they receive their care but can be tricky to organise. We work with the individual to help them manage the process and to negotiate the sometimes complex systems that can act as a barrier to choosing a direct payment - even if it is the best solution for them.  With headquarters in Coventry, we support over 15,000 individuals and have a staff team of 200 people in 6 offices across the country.  Most of our work is delivered under contract to the local authority or NHS.
