✈️ With Shared Lives, people aren’t limited by what a care package can provide — they’re supported to do extraordinary things, build confidence and live the life they choose. Dilan’s uplifting flight over Blackpool says it all. #SharedLives #SocialCare @BoltonCares
A young man sits in the cockpit of a small plane, smiling and giving a thumbs up. The view through the windscreen shows an airport runway with another aircraft in the distance. A circular logo on a purple background says “We are Shared Lives.”
