Care worth talking about

This Shared Lives Week, Shared Lives Plus is encouraging everyone to help spread the word about Shared Lives.

One conversation can make a difference. By telling just one person about Shared Lives, you could help someone discover a life-changing opportunity.

To help raise awareness, we're hosting a FREE webinar on Thursday 18th June, 2–3pm. It's a great chance to learn more about Shared Lives and hear inspiring stories.

Shared Lives Week is only 10 days away!

As part of this year's campaign Shared Lives Plus are encouraging everyone involved in Shared Lives to tell one new person (at least!) about Shared Lives.

If you are a carer or somebody supported in a Shared Lives home, it would be fantastic if you could spread the word about what you enjoy about Shared Lives. 🫶 🤩

Reminder - Shared Lives week is from the 15th – 21st June.

We are very excited to celebrate and get involved with this year’s mission to spread the word – as we wholeheartedly believe that if more people know, more lives would change. So, watch this space for more about what we have planned and what we get up to during Shared Lives Week this year from the 15th – 21st June!

When we say Shared Lives is a work from home job, we also mean work from the park, work from the shops, work from the cinema, work from a family holiday…the list goes on! 🤩

Being a carer with Shared Lives gives you the perfect balance of flexibility, valuable relationships, and quality time with both the person you support and your family. 💛

Shared Lives carers offer long-term placements, respite care (shorter stays) and/or day support.
Whether you’re curious 👀, ready to get involved, or simply looking for more information, we’re here to help every step of the way.

Today is International Day of Families! 🤩
We strongly believe that everyone can thrive in a caring family environment and an accepting community where everyone feels valued. By carefully matching carers with people based on personalities, needs and shared interests we can help them to take the first step to creating lasting connections and meaningful relationships.
These connections are not limited to the family home - these four Shared Lives households recently came together for a fantastic group holiday to Turkey! ✈️🏖️

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. 💛This year’s theme asks us to ‘take action’ to support good mental health. Even small actions can help us and those around us to feel hopeful and less powerless. Everyone deserves good mental health.
