34 years of caring celebrated at Windsor Castle
Herefordshire couple Sue and Pete Hanne have been honoured at a special reception hosted by the King and Queen at Windsor Castle, recognising their incredible 34 years as Shared Lives carers
Through Herefordshire Council’s Shared Lives service, they opened their home to adults with support needs, helping people build independence, confidence and a real sense of belonging. Two people they supported lived with them for more than 25 years, a true reflection of their dedication
As Sue and Pete retire this month, we thank them for the extraordinary difference they’ve made to so many lives
If you’ve ever considered becoming a Shared Lives carer, we’d love to hear from you. It’s a rewarding opportunity to support adults in a safe, family-based environment with full training and ongoing support provided
