As a shared lives carer, you could support- People with Learning disabilities, Autism, Mental health issues, Acquired Brain Injury, Mum and baby, Dementia or people who need support after living in a Domestic Violence environment.

Shared Lives is a care and support service which offers an alternative to supported living or residential care. We support adults to live independently in their community with the support of a family and community network. It can be described as a bit like fostering, but for adults. People are matched based on shared interests, lifestyles, and sense of humour. Shared lives offer a rewarding and flexible way to support someone in your family home.
