Share your home and community with someone who needs support with everyday living. It could change a life.

Shared Lives carers offer help and emotional support from their own home, working comfortably around their lifestyle.

It’s a flexible role that doesn’t need an overnight stay or a spare bedroom.Time together might include activities at home or outings in the community. This helps the person that they support to: enjoy a change of pace, have social interaction, explore new interests or develop skills.

Fran, who is a Shared Lives carer says that
“It’s the best thing I have ever done. I can work from home; give them the support they want every day… They are part of the family.”
