Boost for adult social care and unpaid carers

MariaPCC 18 March 2024

People in adult social care and unpaid carers will benefit from a £20 million boost to fund innovative projects across the country. The Accelerating Reform fund will expand community-based care models such as Shared Lives, a service that matches people aged 16 and above with approved carers. Under this scheme, people move in with their Shared Lives carer on a short- or long-term basis, giving people with care needs more freedom and autonomy and allowing them to live more independently in the community. Short-term care through Shared Lives also supports unpaid carers by providing them with more flexibility and breaks.
