Lemon Hub for councils and commissioners
Councils across the UK are supporting the growth of micro-providers and direct payment care. Lemon Hub gives these carers a simple, affordable tool to manage their admin professionally — helping them deliver better care and maintain clear records.
Affordable for individual carers · No council procurement needed
The challenge for micro-providers
Micro-providers and direct payment carers often lack access to affordable admin tools. Enterprise care software is too expensive and complex. Spreadsheets and paper records are unreliable. This creates a gap that affects care quality and record-keeping.
Micro-providers struggle with admin, reducing time available for care
Direct payment carers lack professional invoicing tools
Poor record-keeping makes audits and reviews difficult
No affordable software designed for very small care providers
