Why is it a good practice example? The social service “Personal assistant” is aimed at people with reduced mobility over 90% and over 90% of lost labour abilities and for kids with over 50% reduced possibility for social adaptation.

It is a municipal initiative that helps people and families of PRM get adequate help from an appointed assistant in order to lead a life with less obstacles.
Background and Objectives / Aims The city of Plovdiv has started this initiative to reduce the stress and hardship of families of PRMs and PRMs themselves. All the services are carried out through municipal supervision.
Implementation (incl. obstacles, public participation) The local service is available to any PRM that presents the necessary documents. It is an easy process, with reduced paper work. The PRM receives a response within 14 days time. The service itself is free of any charge.
Conclusions (incl. output, analysis of benefits) The local municipal initiative 'Personal assistant' in the city of Plovdiv is freely accessible by any type of PRM. The process for applying has improved significantly in terms of documents submitted. More and more PRMs use this free-of-charge service to improve their social life and social inclusion status. The life of the PRMs outside their homes is dependant on the transport and mobility options provided by the municipality and the personal assistance offered. These were the main points that the Municipality of Plovdiv addressed by implementing the service.
