Harris and Shaun have become great friends since matching in our Shared Lives Scheme. Harris is always there for Shaun if he needs support, and they share a passion for sport, music, and having a laugh!

"It's so easy, living with him, supporting him, helping him to live independently. It's always a joy having him here." - Harris

"I've been here for 3 years and it's great we have a lot of banter! We like watching sports, and it's not just Harris, but the whole family, we get on really well, and I just fit right in!" - Shaun

Sharing your life could change a life

Shared Lives is a scheme that matches people who need additional support to be independent and live on their own, with carers and their families.

Sharing a family’s life means that people who need support can choose to become part of an ordinary household, instead of staying in residential care or being looked after by a team of support workers.

People using the scheme make new friends, develop new skills and gain the confidence to be as independent as possible. Helping to reduce isolation and allowing them to stay living independently for longer.

Some people use the Shared Lives Scheme as a way of learning the skills they need to live independently and to help them put down roots in the area or community before moving into a place of their own.
