Kent Shared Lives

01/04/2026

Shared Lives is about real people, real homes and real relationships.

Adults with care and support needs live with or spend time with a Shared Lives carer and their household – gaining independence, confidence and a true sense of belonging.

🎥 Take a moment to watch our video and see what Shared Lives is all about.
