✨ Meet Clare ✨

This Shared Lives Week, we're celebrating the people at the heart of Shared Lives and the difference that the right support can make.

When Clare joined Shared Lives, she was looking for a place where she could grow, build her independence, and live life her way. Today, she's learning new skills, pursuing her interests, volunteering in her community, and embracing new opportunities with confidence.

💙 That's what Shared Lives is all about.

It's about building genuine relationships, being part of a family and community, and supporting people to achieve the things that matter most to them.

Clare's story shows how person-centred, community-based support can help people thrive, make meaningful connections, and live fulfilling lives.

As part of the Challenge this Shared Lives Week, we're encouraging everyone to tell one person about Shared Lives and help spread the word about this life-changing model of support.

Could your conversation inspire someone to become a Shared Lives carer, access support, or discover a new opportunity?

Together, we can help more people find the confidence, connection and sense of belonging that Shared Lives can bring.

🎉 It's the first day of Shared Lives Week 2026! 🎉

This week, we're joining organisations across the UK to celebrate Shared Lives – a unique form of support that helps people live full, independent lives as part of a family and community.

The theme this year is "Shout About Shared Lives – care worth talking about" and we're taking on the Challenge.
💬 Tell one person about Shared Lives.
💙 Help challenge misconceptions about social care.
🏡 Share how community-based support changes lives.

At Ategi, we see every day how Shared Lives helps people build confidence, develop independence, make meaningful connections and live life their way.

Whether you're interested in becoming a Shared Lives carer, know someone who might be, or simply want to help spread the word, you can make a difference by telling just one person.

Together, let's make Shared Lives the care everyone is talking about.

🌼 A Bloomin’ Marvellous Day! 🌼
What a fantastic day we had at Ategi’s Head Office as part of The Big Help Out! 💚

People we support and staff alike rolled up their sleeves, picked up their gardening gloves, and spent the day planting a wonderful mix of flowers and shrubs to brighten up our outdoor spaces. From colourful blooms to wildlife-friendly plants, every addition will help create a more welcoming environment for everyone who visits and works at Ategi.

The day was filled with teamwork, laughter, and plenty of muddy hands, proving that even small actions can make a big difference to the spaces we share. 🌱🌷

A huge thank you to our local Hawthorn and Rhydyfelin councillor Cathy Lisles and everyone who gave their time and energy to help transform our outdoor space. We can't wait to watch everything grow and flourish over the coming months.

🌼🌿💚

Some people think adults with additional needs can’t live independently. That’s not true. Independence looks different for everyone, and with the right support, people can live full, happy lives in their communities.
At Ategi, we support adults across England and Wales through Shared Lives, Supported Living, and Community Support services. Everyone’s needs are different, so our support is always person-centred.

Creativity brings people together, builds confidence, and creates opportunities for self-expression — and today, on National Creativity Day, we’re celebrating the amazing creativity shown every week in our craft clubs. 🎨✨

From painting and making, to laughter and conversation, these sessions are about much more than crafts — they’re about friendship, wellbeing, and nurturing fulfilling, independent lives.

Great to be part of the Supported Living Event at Sbectrwm, Cardiff on Saturday, where we joined people and organisations from across the sector to help raise awareness of accommodation and support options for individuals with additional needs exploring more independent living.

A special thank you to Anthony, who shared his personal experience of living in a long-term Shared Lives arrangement. His honest and inspiring insights prompted thoughtful questions from the audience and highlighted the positive impact Shared Lives can have in helping people live independently, confidently and as part of their community.

Together, we were proud to answer questions and showcase the different pathways available to support people in finding the right home and support for their future.
