Liverpool Cares -  is a community network of young professionals and older neighbours hanging out and helping one another in our rapidly changing city.

Liverpool Cares seeks to address the blight of disconnection in our connected age by harnessing the people and places around us for the benefit of all. Our objectives are to:

  • Reduce isolation and loneliness amongst older people and young professionals alike
  • Improve the connection, confidence, skills, resilience and power of all participants so neighbours can feel part of our changing city rather than left behind by it
  • Bring people together to reduce the gaps across social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides. 

Shared Lives - is a form of care where people who need a little extra help with the everyday stuff – like getting to the shops, cooking dinner or ironing – go and live with a specially recruited and trained Shared Lives carer and their family, or stay with them for the day, getting as much or as little support as they need; giving them the time, space and choice to live their life like you they want to live it. Shared Lives is run locally by PSS.
