National Shared Lives Week 13 – 21 October 2012

Next week Shared Lives Services across the country will be celebrating the first ever National Shared Lives Week. The Calderdale Shared Lives scheme provides personalised day services, short breaks and long-term living arrangements for young people and adults with learning disabilities, mental health needs and older people. The service is provided by forty-six truly amazing and dedicated Shared Lives Carers who have been approved to provide support in their own homes, out in the community or in the homes of people who need extra help and support at home.
