Shared Lives South West has launched its first ever TV advert in the hope of recruiting new carers and spreading the word about the services it offers.

It features SLSW Carer Lisa Dougal and Charlene, who she supports, and was filmed by Fork The Waffle in Exmouth.

Shared Lives South West has started a recruitment drive to find new carers and in turn match more people needing to use the services it offers.

“We really wanted to use a real SLSW household so it is authentic and showcases what SLSW is all about,” said Dawn Gillingwater, Communications Officer at SLSW.

“Lisa and Charlene were great to work with. We are thrilled with how the tv advert has come together and we are receiving good feedback.”
