Croydon Direct Payments Forum – When in crisis, what would help most?

We’re inviting people who use Direct Payments in Croydon to join our new quarterly forum—a space to share experiences, ask questions, and help shape how support works locally.

Our first session will focus on a simple but important question:

When in crisis, what would help most?

We know that things don’t always go to plan. This forum is an opportunity to talk about what makes a difference during more difficult periods—whether that’s information, planning, communication, or something else entirely.

We want to hear directly from you about what works, what doesn’t, and what could be improved.
