Self Directed Support Forum East Renfrewshire is your very own local organisation for anyone who is thinking about directing their own support or that of someone they care for. We also support individuals and families who are already directing an existing social care package. Our organisation was formed in 2011 by a small collective of service users and carers. We have grown into an independent and informed organisation for others to turn to for advice, to share experiences and to feel supported around all aspects of Self-Directed Support (SDS).
