I rarely left the house and when I did, I used a walker. I was being assessed for hip issues by my doctor and by a specialist at the hospital and I had several other health issues. I decided I wanted to go flatting with my brother, so I applied for Individualised Funding until Enabling Good Lives started. When enabling Good Lives started in October 2018, I applied for a personal budget with Tatou Tatou managing this for me. This meant I got to choose my support network, the where, what and how my days would be. I don’t use a walker now and I hardly ever need to visit the doctor. I decided I would do the Foundation Course at UCOL and I graduated from this earlier this year. I now know that baking is my passion and I am going to do a course at UCOL with some support. My personal budget enables me to get a taxi to this course which is good because it starts at 6am and I don’t like walking that early especially when it is dark and cold. I really enjoy flatting and doing lots of things in my community, I especially enjoy going on trips out of town with the Tatou Tatou network. My family are supportive of my new life and are part of my network. I think” Tatou Tatou are changing lives for the better” https://www.tatoutatou.co.nz/home-alt-bedford daily 0.75 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500612440-PGQSIY8KL9F7T5VIXQLO/chambers-2.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500503574-5BAPXZO9U06UV61P49UO/chambers1.jpg Home Alt Sustainability Starts with you Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500933384-LII4SRIPHFYOUFX0UCXC/chambers-4.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390504287124-HQ8GNX1JCE22V047MSQ9/chambers-8.jpg Home Alt Preserve Nature Join Us
