About HDP…

Who Are We and What Do We Do?

Halton Disability Partnership (HDP) is a charity, founded in 2010, which aims to improve the lives of disabled people, and their families, in the Merseyside Borough of Halton.

HDP is a Disabled People User Led Organisation (DPULO). Our trustees and staff include disabled people.

We have some paid staff, but our volunteers, some of them disabled people, make a vital contribution to our work.

Four ways we work to improve lives:

• Providing Information and Advice on a range of issues of concern to disabled people.
• Providing an Advice and Support service for people in receipt of Direct Payments.
• Enabling people to join us – as volunteers, as supporters and socially.
• HDP also works with people with mental health issues and with children.

 

Information and Advice

We provide information and advice about a range of issues of concern to disabled people, their carers and their families. If we do not know, we will probably know someone who does. You can: Ring, or call in. Our Runcorn town centre base is open weekdays from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm. Telephone 01928 248937.

Use our website to get the information you want. We hold information about a range of services in Halton and current topics for people with disabilities. www.haltondisability.org.uk

Direct Payments Support Service

We provide support and advice to you receiving Direct Payments from the Council. Direct Payments are cash payments made to individuals who have been assessed as eligible to receive social care or support. The money received by Direct Payment (or your money if you pay your care) could be used to pay for any services or support that meet the person’s needs and choices. This could include employing staff as a Personal Assistant, and we keep a register of people who are interested in this work and put them in touch with people needing support.
