Great to receive this from a Leeds Shared Lives Customer! “I enjoy my respite & that it is like going into a family home I enjoy interacting with the carer & increasing my independence. My carer does activities that I like & I have a choice over what I do while I am there.”

We never give out tents. Simply put, the work we do and the support we offer is to help people off the streets and into safe accommodation. A tent is sadly not safe accommodation and also brings many challenges.
