Brave New World

Right To Better

Starting anything new is a step into a Brave New World. Growing better not bigger means

looking at things from fresh perspectives and working in a dynamic, agile and person-centred way. When C-Change were approached by a family regarding support for their son, it was agreed that the best way forward would be to start a new small supports project, and so Right to Better was born.

Since then it has very much flourished as its own entity, whilst still being part of C-Change. Right to Better has forged new relationships with community and partner organisations such as Perth and Kinross council and is currently supporting two people to live their good lives.

Personal development worker Ross believes it’s the culture of Why Not? Instead of Why? That gives Right to Better the space to try new approaches and ensure that decision making stays as close to the Person We Work For as possible at all times.

There will undoubtedly be changes in the coming years which will bring challenges and

opportunities as we integrate and embed ourselves in the communities we live and work in but a huge amount has been achieved in a short space of time. We are hopeful and excited to see it continue to flourish.

Here is a poem inspired by one of the Right to Better teams which highlights the importance of matching, relationship building and that #NotAllSocialCareIsTheSame
