Circles of Support
Circles of Support are a
tool to make
social inclusion
work for people with disabilities, people with mental illnesses, vulnerable children and families, young people in foster care, single young parents,
people living with the risk of domestic violence, and others struggling with social isolation. By building an intentional circle of support around a person, comprising friends, neighbours, family, shopkeepers, drivers and support workers, real connections and communities can be built.
We would like to hear from individuals and organisations around the country interested in
developing Circles of Support in their community.
And we'd like to hear from people who are already participating in or running Circles of Support, so we can share experiences and
information and assist others to start up.
We want to make it as easy as possible to find
out how Circles of Support might be able to transform the lives of people close
to us.
Register your interest in participating by using the

If you would like to join our National Steering Group to guide the development
of Circles of Support, please tick the box below.
