Shared Lives Plus recently organised a break for Shared Lives carers and people who use Shared Lives services. We asked Shared Lives carers what the best thing about their role was, and they told us:
“It’s like starting a family all over again”
“We enhance the quality of people lives”
“It’s a way of life”
“It makes your world bigger”
“It’s about what comes from within”
“It’s a great opportunity to give something back”
“Shared Lives isn’t just about us, it’s about our extended family”
