The struggling adult social care system is set to benefit from a £20m boost, the Government announced today.

The Accelerating Reform Fund will expand community-based care models such as Shared Lives, a service that matches people aged 16 and above with approved carers.

Minister for Social Care, Helen Whately, said: ‘Alongside our workforce reforms, we're supporting the sector by backing innovations which will make our care system fit for the future and provide vital support to our selfless unpaid carers.

‘I've seen first-hand how Shared Lives helps people who need care, and I’m delighted this funding will scale up support and make an even bigger difference for more people across the country.’
