Creating Circles of Support

We probably all know families who have their own roles in caring for a loved one, whether they’re the one who takes a parent to the shops, makes the dinners, gives a lift to appointments or just drops in for a cup of tea and a chat.

Maximising Independence projects – supporting people and communities

Two particular maximising independence projects are already having an impact.
