NAAPS is the UK network for family-based and small-scale ways of supporting adults. Our members are Shared Lives carers and schemes, Homeshare programmes and micro-enterprises. They use different approaches to enable people to achieve goals such as:

• being in control of their services and their lives
• pursuing ordinary lives within their chosen families and relationships
• being valued by their communities and feeling like they belong.

NAAPS' members deliver or coordinate services which:

• are built around individuals, their strengths and potential
• promote equality and value diversity
• are safe but support people to take risks in pursuit of their goals
• are cost-effective, with consistently better outcomes than alternatives.
