Circles of support are a group of family, friends and supportive workers who come together to give support and friendship to a person.
We can help you to make connecting a reality in your area. Find out about what services we offer.
Connecting People is a programme of work based on the approach that people who need support in their daily lives are more likely to be safe and fulfilled if they are helped to build strong and meaningful relationships in their community.
Our research has shown that people with the highest support needs rarely get the right help to make strong, enduring relationships in their local communities.
This booklet draws on work undertaken between 2009 and 2011 as part of the Building Inclusive Kent Communities Programme.
