Call for volunteers to help vulnerable adults in Haringey
11:02am Wednesday 17th October 2012 in News By Bruce Thain
People are being urged to volunteer as a carer to help vulnerable adults.
Those with a spare room in their home and willing to help people live an independent life are being called to volunteer for the Shared Lives Haringey scheme.
Shared Lives was established 20-years-ago and finds volunteers willing to allow vulnerable adults to stay in their home, helping them live more independently by providing a stable, supportive place to live.
The charity provides homes for people with learning disabilities, mental health problems and older people with dementia.
