Could you do with some free support to make plans for later life?
Making decisions about your finances and property, providing for the type of care you may need in the future, making sure your loved ones know what’s important to you so they don’t have to guess what your wishes might be, learning how to look after your health and wellbeing as you get older… there’s a lot to plan for in later life.
Are you ready to make those later life and future care plans but need a bit of help to understand all your options and organise your thoughts?
Have you purchased a copy of the My Future Care Handbook that’s still sitting unopened on the shelf? Maybe you’re feeling confused or overwhelmed about where to start, or life is just too busy, and you need a gentle nudge to stay on track with your planning?
The My Future Care Buddy Service is here to help.
How does the My Future Care Buddy Service work?
After you purchase the My Future Care Handbook you can request the support of a Buddy – a trained volunteer – who will guide you through it. Support is available, via phone or video calls, wherever you are in the UK.
Your Buddy will help you prioritise what is important to you, guide you through the different topics in the Handbook, answer your questions, and support you to overcome anything holding you back. Your volunteer is trained to listen and support you to make your own plan, in your own way.
You can use the service by yourself or with a partner to make both your plans at the same time. Or, if you’re helping someone else, such as an older relative, you can use the service together and support them to make their plan.

Very useful session, can ask questions easily, the My Future Care Handbook is so detailed and takes you through every aspect of thinking and having your wishes documented for later life. Thank you.”
Thank you for your understanding and guidance. After our session today, I got cracking and did a lot more. I was so absorbed, that the time flew by. You are doing a brilliant job and I very much appreciate it.”
