So, what is Shared Lives?

Shared Lives is a little bit like fostering, but with the big difference that it’s for people over the age of 16 (or 18 in Wales) who want to live as independently as possible.

Shared Lives carers provide people with the practical and emotional support they need to live life the way they want to. Our Shared Lives carers support people either while they live with them, or just for the day. They can also become a Shared Lives carer to continue supporting someone they foster after they turn 16 (if they have personal care support needs) or 18.

We’ll be there to support you as a carer
