This year Shared Lives South West is 20 years old!
We are celebrating the milestone in lots of ways.
We are sharing stories from Shared Lives households and staff and the wider Shared Lives community as well as having a regular presence on our social media about our special anniverary. Feel free to follow us on Facebook here.
The staff team also celebrated by having cupcakes in the offices.
We will also be hosting a series of walks covering each county as part of our birthday celebrations in Shared Lives Week next month (June).
Over the years the organisation has grown and evolved. Shared Lives South West now offers more services than ever before and now covers five local authority areas.
You can read stories featuring some original staff telling their story about why they have been with us since the beginning here.
Follow this link to also read a story about retiring carers who have been with Shared Lives South West since its inception.
We hope you will join us in our celebrations.
Weare 20 years old, here’s to the next 20 years!
