Shared Lives

Our vision is a kinder, stronger society built on sharing our lives and our homes. We help build communities where everyone lives a full life, regardless of the support they need. We do this by turning Shared Lives and Homeshare into thriving, mainstream options, with all the right structures in place to support and guide who want to share their lives and homes.

Shared Lives carers support people from all walks of life. 

You could visit or move in with a Shared Lives carer and their family, when you are looking for support during a life change:

• So you can leave hospital after treatment
• Getting older and need an extra hand for daily tasks.
• If you’re a young person leaving care
• Rebuild your life after domestic violence or modern slavery.

Or for longer term support:

• Have a learning or physical disability.
• Experience dementia.
• Mental ill health.
• Or want to live with your child while needing care yourself.

You can find more infomation on what we offer for each type of support on our website. (opens new page)
