Shared Lives Plus is the UK membership charity for Shared Lives schemes, Shared Lives carers and Homeshare organisations. Shared Lives is a real example of what the future of good social care looks like. It builds relationships, belonging and purpose, where an adult with support needs moves in with or visits a registered Shared Lives carer, and shares life with them as part of their household in a family or flatshare environment.
Shared Lives care is delivered locally through regulated and inspected Shared Lives schemes who recruit Shared Lives carers and match them with adults who need support.
Shared Lives Plus supports Shared Lives schemes and Shared Lives carers by providing advice, networking opportunities, and training. We also represent Shared Lives nationally for our members, influencing and connecting with the wider social care sector, and local, devolved, and national governments.
