Support Choices is built on the belief that informed decisions, personal empowerment, and strong communities create real change. We are committed to supporting individuals as they embrace their independence, define their own paths, and lead lives aligned with their values and aspirations. Through encouragement and choice, we help people move forward with confidence and purpose.
Our Vision
People have accessible, person-centered and independent support,
which is embedded in
their community
​

​
Our Mission
Our aim is to provide free independent support and advice on social care and self-directed support to anyone who wants it. We support people across
Perth and Kinross to life the life they want to lead.
​
We offer a free, independent service, helping you through the process of organising support. We aim to ensure you have what you need to make informed choices. We are independent of all other services (Social Work, NHS, support providers etc.)
When you get in touch, our experienced community workers will firstly want to find out what is important to you, or the person you’re caring for. This will let us give you one-to-one support to start help you thinking about what care and support is best for you.
We can help at any stage of your social care and Self-directed Support journey. You can come back to us at any point.
We can also help you with getting involved in peer support if this is something that interests you.
