Shared Lives

Some people in our community need a bit more support to be able to live an ordinary, everyday life and make the choices they want. Often they are supported by family carers to do this and these carers also need support.

Shared Lives is a way of providing support to people who need help to keep as independent as possible and lead a full and active life.

Shared Lives helps many people, including people with learning disabilities, mental health needs, physical disabilities and older people.

Shared Lives works by matching the person needing support with a Shared Lives carer recruited from the community who can give them the support they need.
