Our ‘Light Touch’ appointeeship plan has been designed to provide a higher level of autonomy and independence for clients who need less intervention in their everyday money management affairs but would benefit from ensuring that they are receiving the welfare benefits they are entitled to and their most important bills are paid for them.

Money Carer receives lots of referrals from local authority social workers and care providers for people who do not have the capacity to reasonably manage their welfare benefit payments and administrative responsibilities however, do have a lot of ability to manage other aspects of daily money management.

In consultation with our referring partners, we have introduced a low-cost ‘light touch’ appointeeship plan to better cater for the needs of these individuals. This plan represents a balance between providing a necessary level of support to ensure priority bills are paid and promoting greater client independence by transferring the majority of the client’s money to them (on a daily basis if preferred) after their important bills have been paid.

The table below details a breakdown of the service features that form our light touch appointee plan.
