West Berkshire Shared Lives

Change someone's life-just by opening your home.
Shared Lives is a unique way to care, where teenagers (16+) and adults with support needs live with people like you, as part of a real family. It's not a service, it's a relationship.
Together, you'll share meals, memories, and the ordinary moments that make a house a home.
We carefully match each person with a carer who shares their values and lifestyle.
Whether it's a short stay or something more long-term, you'll offer the comfort of belonging-and receive training, support, and payment for the care you provide.
You don't need experience. Just compassion, a spare room, and the heart to make a difference.
Share your life. Become a Shared Lives carer.
