I didn’t expect to win at all and when we were told, I was delighted! Homeshare will be a new idea in Scotland and it is vital that we raise its profile. Our goal is that we want to bring shared living to more people and create a kinder and stronger society. This grant allows us to create those plans.

What our donation will help fund

The grant from Ecclesiastical will cover the first year of the project, kick-starting Homeshare in Scotland. It will enable Shared Lives Plus to employ a Homeshare development officer and a development manager, to work with older people, local authorities and the third sector to identify three areas suitable for Homeshare development in Scotland's diverse communities. Long term, the societal impact of this project will be to support older people to live independently for longer, to provide affordable accommodation for younger people and to help end loneliness.
