My Life, My BudgetA game about Personal Budgets


Before Personal Budgets

Day Centre


But what if I want to do something

else?

?


After Personal Budgets

Service User


??

I am confused! What do I choose ?


Let’s make a board game to

help people understand!??


Then hopefully

everyone will be

as excited as Rod

is about getting a

Personal Budget!


We worked with a team of adults with learning difficulties to develop the game over the past year.

We thought up how the game should look and how it should be played.


We changed parts of the game when people told us what would make it better.

We talked to a lot of different groups and people to see what they thought.


We decided on the final design


We went to visit the manufacturers in Glasgow.

These are the people that are making the game for us!


The game is in its final stage with the manufacturer right now and we should get it very soon!

We are giving away 250 for free and then selling many more!

We were funded by the Department of Health.


For example:Ames Forgacs is creating a DVD which will explain the rules of the game in a more

visual, accessible way.

We want to continue to make add ons to the game.

These will help the game be useful for all sorts of people who

can use it in all sorts of ways!

Giant Board


How should I use the game?

• To introduce Personal budgets

• To understand how to budget money

• To learn the steps to getting a Personal Budget

• To practice making choices

• To put together a weekly plan

And many more possibilities!

One2One or in groups with service users, parents/carers, staff, or anyone else who wants to learn!
