Find the right support for you — in your own way.
Shared Lives is for people who want to live more independently, build confidence, and feel part of their community.
You’ll be matched with a carer who shares your interests, lifestyle, and sense of humour — someone who can support you in the way that suits you best.
That might mean:
- A few hours of support during the day
- Regular visits for activities, learning, or social time
- Short breaks or respite when you or your carer need time to rest
- Living as part of a supportive household for a longer period
Every arrangement is personal — designed around you and what you want to achieve.
Shared Lives has helped me do things I never thought I could — travel on my own, cook new meals, and make new friends. I finally feel part of something.
