Our vision is a kinder, stronger society built on sharing our lives and our homes. We help build communities where everyone lives a full life, regardless of the support they need. We do this by turning Shared Lives care, and Homeshare into thriving, mainstream options, with the right structures in place to support and guide people who want to share their lives and homes.Shared Lives Plus’ strategic advice team provides consulting, training and improvement support to local organisations to help them review, grow and diversify Shared Lives and Homeshare across the UK. This year the Strategic Advice team will be supporting a number of local authorities and their partners in the NHS, housing, and the voluntary and community sector to delivery local Accelerating Reform Fund (ARF) funded projects, a new £42.6m new innovation fund which has been set up to support innovation in adult social care. Around half of Shared Lives schemes across England will receive funding to grow and develop their support for people with a learning disability, dementia, young people leaving care, unpaid carers, and people leaving hospital.If you want to discuss the option of becoming a shared lives carer, or you want to explore how Shard Lives Plus can help you grow your current Shared Lives provision within your scheme, please get in touch.
