Avalon Shared Lives Services Launch in East Riding, North Lincolnshire, and North East Lincolnshire
We’re delighted to announce the launch of three new Avalon Shared Lives services across East Riding, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.
Working in partnership with the local authorities in each area and Shared Lives Plus, we’re expanding the reach of Shared Lives and creating more opportunities for people to enjoy greater independence, build meaningful relationships and be part of their local communities.
What is Shared Lives?
Shared Lives is a unique, person-centred approach to care and support. It brings people who need support together with carefully approved Shared Lives Carers, who welcome them into their own homes and lives. Support is tailored to each individual, helping them develop skills, build confidence and enjoy everyday life in a supportive family or community setting.
Who is Shared Lives for?
Shared Lives can support:
- Adults with learning disabilities.
- Autistic people.
- People with mental health needs.
- Adults who need support to live more independently.
- People who would benefit from companionship, short breaks or longer-term support.
Becoming a Shared Lives carer
Becoming a Shared Lives Carer is an opportunity to make a real difference to someone’s life by sharing your home, time and everyday experiences. Carers are carefully assessed, trained and supported by the Avalon Shared Lives team to ensure they can provide a safe, welcoming and supportive environment. Whether offering long-term accommodation, short breaks or regular daytime support, Shared Lives Carers help people build confidence, develop new skills and enjoy greater independence. You don’t need formal care qualifications, but you do need the right values, a willingness to make a difference and a genuine interest in supporting others.
