Take Control South Lanarkshire is a Self-Directed Support Service, commissioned by South Lanarkshire HSCP, providing information and assistance to enable all eligible people to explore the four Self-Directed Support options for independent living.
Take Control is part of Glasgow Centre for Inclusive Living (GCIL), which has many years of experience helping people to gain the information, skills, and support to overcome barriers and make informed choices about their support needs.
If you or the person you care for has a disability or support need, you may be eligible for a Self-Directed Support budget.
Come along to our Self-Directed Support Information Session to find out more:
We provide support and information:
- Information and training on Self-directed Support (SDS) to ensure that you are able to make informed choices about the best way to use your funding

- How Take Control can support you through your SDS Journey
- Recruiting and managing personal assistants, or engaging with service providers
