Shared Lives - Cysylltu Bywydau

Call Directions Website Contact the organisation

Shared Lives is a service where people who need some support, live with or visit people who have decided to share their homes, community and family life.

These are called Shared Lives Carers. Service provided by (Powys County Council) Shared Lives Powys enables people to live life to the full in their communities without having to live alone or in residential care. If you've always wanted to get into social care but never been sure if you had the time or the support, then Shared Lives may be for you - you can work around your own life, family and commitments, and receive a generous allowance from the council. Shared Lives Powys provides care and support to adults with a learning disability, older people, people with mental health problems and adults with a physical or sensory disability. Find out more about how you can join and do something special - https://en.powys.gov.uk/article/1901/Supporting-adults-Shared-Lives

Do you know about the Social Model of Disability? 💭

Our toolkit has all the information you need to understand what it is, the difference between the Social and Medical Models, the barriers that exist in society, and how we can break them down.

It also includes helpful tips on putting the Social Model into practice in your day-to-day life, whether you’re an individual or an organisation.

Image description: The cover of Disability Wales' Social Model of Disability Toolkit. It has a blue background with a design that includes a white rectangle at the top left, containing the DW logo. Below the white rectangle, there are coloured blocks in turquoise and purple. The title "Social Model of Disability" is written in orange text on a dark blue background, with "A Toolkit" in white text below it.

This coming Wednesday!! Calling people in Powys with a learning disability

We're starting a new self advocacy group for anyone over 18 with a learning disability in Powys.

We think self-advocacy is

• being part of a group

• speaking up about local decisions

• speaking up about decisions across Wales

The first meeting is Wednesday 30th September in the Clarence Hotel, Watton. It starts at 6 o clock and it's free.

More information in the poster attached. Please share with those who may not use social media.

We'd love to see you there.

⭐ Become a Shared Lives Carer ⭐

Are you caring, patient, and looking for a rewarding way to make a difference in your community?

We are looking for compassionate individuals, couples, and families to become Shared Lives Carers and support adults (18+) who need help to live independently and be part of their local community.

As a Shared Lives Carer, you will welcome someone into your home and provide support tailored to their needs. This could be on a long-term basis, for short breaks (respite care), or day support.

If you'd like to find out more about becoming a Shared Lives Carer, we'd love to hear from you.

⭐ Dewch i fod yn ofalwr cysylltu bywydau ⭐

Ydych chi'n ofalgar, yn amyneddgar, ac yn chwilio am ffordd werth chweil i wneud gwahaniaeth yn eich cymuned?

Rydym yn chwilio am unigolion, cyplau a theuluoedd tosturiol i ddod yn Ofalwyr Cysylltu Bywydau a chefnogi oedolion (18+) sydd angen help i fyw'n annibynnol a bod yn rhan o'u cymuned leol.

Fel Gofalwr Cysylltu Bywydau, byddwch yn croesawu rhywun i'ch cartref ac yn darparu cymorth wedi'i deilwra i'w anghenion. Gallai hyn fod ar sail hirdymor, ar gyfer seibiannau byr (gofal seibiant), neu gymorth dydd.

Os hoffech chi ddarganfod mwy am ddod yn Ofalwr Cysylltu Bywydau byddem wrth ein bodd yn clywed gennych.
