Tomorrow is International Women's Day #IWD2025, and we'd like to take a moment to remember our founder, Sue Newton MBE, who passed away in 2023. Without her inspiration and tenacity #SharedLives might not be here today.

It’s sad to see Shared Lives being misrepresented as “fostering adults.” It’s completely different—they are adults with full autonomy, just like anyone else! Shared Lives is brilliant, but it shouldn’t be advertised in the wrong way.
