The board of Disabled Persons Housing Service (Fife) would like to express their sincere heartfelt gratitude and thanks to Jackie Morrison our Service Manager who will be leaving us on 5th July 2018.

Jackie has been majorly instrumental in making DPHS such a significant contributor towards disabled people in Fife having wider choices and more control in the ways they want to live their lives.

She has been with us from the very start, our first paid worker, way back in 2005. The board along with workers past and present recognise that without her leadership, passion and commitment this organisation would not be what it is today. Jackie’s many abilities, skills and knowledge have ensured that DPHS has grown to be recognised throughout Scotland as a leader in providing housing advice and support for disabled people and now developing a similar role in guiding people on their Self Directed Support journey.

We wish her all the very best for the future and invite you all to join us in saying farewell by coming along on Thursday 5th July between 11.00 - 12.30 or 1.30 - 3.00 to
St. Brycedale Church, St. Brycedale Avenue Kirkcaldy KY1 1ET

1)  How does your SDS work for you?
 
I get out more and to different places now.  Marylin comes to me once a week on a Friday from Crossroads. We can use the low rider bus service and it's very good but sometimes we need to use taxis.  Money for transport comes out of my budget. We go to the Theatre, shopping, Edinburgh and Dundee.  My goal for this week is to get to Dunfermline to see a bench with name plaque's on dedicated to my friend and her husband.  She passed away 2 years ago and I would like to go there and see it in person.
 
2)  How do the payments work?  Do you use an accountant?
 

I don’t pay anything thing.  Quill does it for me.

3)  How does Marylin from Crossroads assist you?
 
She takes me out places.  She helps with light domestic duties like tidying up, ironing a few items and sometimes she hangs stuff up for me if I can't reach.
 
4)  Has SDS made a positive difference to you life?
 

Yes, I can now do food shopping once a week and get big items that Marylin helps bring home in the taxi.
