What’s on: Shared Lives Week 2021
It’s Shared Lives Week Monday 14th – Sunday 20th June.
This year, we’re bringing our amazing Shared Lives community together online to have some fun, learn new things and enjoy each other’s company after a rollercoaster of a year.
We’ve got all kinds of stuff going on for you to get stuck into – from cooking, art and and dancing through to learning more about taxes and getting a first look at our brand new website designed to make Shared Lives matches at the click of a button. You can even meet some animals with a virtual trip to the Welsh Mountain Zoo!
What’s on?
There are limited numbers at some of our virtual events so that we can make sure they’re great for everyone. Please register for the events you’d like to come along to by clicking ‘Register’ underneath each event you’d like to attend and filling in your details. Zoom links will be sent for each event near the time.
