Is Shared Lives for me?

Shared Lives suits many people – over 10,000 people already enjoy visiting or living with a Shared Lives carer.

When you choose who supports you, with the help of your local scheme, you and your Shared Lives carer, and their friends and family, often become friends – as well as getting the professional support you need.
