People are encouraged to take part in the HSE’s home sharing scheme in Sligo and Leitrim.
It involves caring for and sharing your home with a child or an adult with a disability and/or autism.
The scheme is flexible with host families able to choose to offer a morning, afternoon or day a week or longer if they wish.
Ali Crowe Bergin, a social worker with the home share scheme in Sligo/Leitrim explains how the initiative works.
