Supporting People

Supporting people is a government initiative aimed at enabling vulnerable people with housing related support needs to live independently in the community. Without this support a person might be unable to manage their accommodation on their own. This is an enabling service whereby your Support Worker will work with you but not for you.

Caretime Services is funded by Plymouth Supporting People to provide support to eligible adults in Plymouth. It is currently a free service but our service is not available in Devon.

If you think you are eligible or know someone who might need support please contact us.
