'Personalising Freedom has has matched me with two service users perfectly, and both have said PF as managed to get things done in weeks or less that other company`s could`t do in months, its a pleasure to work for some one who really cares about what the service user and their family need, well done PF' - Janet Richardson Liz is absolutely fantastic IV been looking for a support package for my son for over a year ,and Liz has got things up and running in a few short weeks , she has done what no one else could do for our family , I'd recommend her to anyone she's a super star - Donna Elliott In recent times, working as a personal assistant didn't recieve the credit it was due, this is changing thanks to people like Liz and Personalising Freedom. Whatever your education or experience level, being a PA can be a fulfilling occupation with genuine career opportunities. The work can lead you to interesting activities and groups that you may never have encountered before all whilst you are supporting somebody to improve their lives, which is a rewarding feeling. It is refreshing to work with Personalising Freedom and Liz who are clearly a genuinely ethically driven organisation, keeping individual needs at the core of everything they do and offering constant guidance. This is reflected in the packages provided and the benefits, support and development given to the PAs. - Sharon Marshall Liz contacted me to help provide support with one of her service users, and I must say Liz is an absolute pleasure to work with so professional and the service she provides is absolutely spot on she takes the time to get to know the service users and their families and comes back to them with a perfect match! Liz your a star look forward to working with you more in the future - Laura-melanie Donovan When Liz answered my FB plea for someone to help with my disabled parents, I felt like my prayers had been answered !!! Liz was amazing, supportive, but most of all so so reassuring. She was kind and so friendly, a real listener and offering the promise to give personalised help to our very complicated lives - exactly what my family need at the moment!!! Thank you liz. Highly recommended !!!! -Shamima Taylor PF is an amazing source of support for families who need guidance implementing their aspirations for their loved ones, many know what they want but don't know how to get the help in place and kick started. PF is a valuable and crucial service for families and has been a long time coming, finally, with the amazing support of Liz, many families and individuals can move forward in life knowing their loved ones have a life that has been person centered for THEM. I have to say a huge thank you to Liz for all her support more recently, even as a knowledgeable parent of the barriers we face along the way we also often become bogged down with the stress and just need someone to help us along the way - Barbella Ann 70% of individuals with a long term condition say their care has improved as a result of personalised care planning. Good care planning can make a huge difference to people’s lives. It enables individuals with long term conditions to plan their care, have strategies in place to cope with exacerbations of their condition and have all the relevant information they need to make informed choices and decisions. Supporting people to self care means they have more confidence and control over their condition and understand how it affects their lives. Personalising freedom will support you to do just this, liz Crooke has a wealth of information and experience in supporting people with personal budgets ,working in both the public ( with numerous local authorities) and private sector putting people at the heart of her support and services. Liz's personal agenda is to provide you with the best possible care solution which will allow you to make fully informed decisions to lead an independent and full life with your personal budget , putting you at the centre. I have worked with liz for many years and have seen the successful outcomes of her support many many times .- Lynn Kennedy I've have worked with PF together clients. Liz has a fund of knowledge and is a tower of strength to her clients often going above and beyond to offer support. As a service provider she offers support to us which is greatly received and it's apparent that her clients are her absolute priority. A pleasure to work with and a it's a vital service she provides. We look forward to working together in the future to provide the best possible services to those who need it. -Debbie Reynolds Finally a service that offers the right support from the right people! Liz is not only very skilled at what she does but also provides a personal touch that makes you feel listened too, prioritised and most of all in control of your life. I can't recommend highly enough. - Blackburn with Darwen Direct Payment User. - Leah Booth
