Introduction

We want to help people to live independently wherever possible. We have put strategies in place to help the most disadvantaged and vulnerable people in our communities. These strategies offer different methods of support and care as well as grant assistance where necessary.

The key areas where we have specific strategies are:

• Homelessness

• Health

• Supporting people - This strategy covers anyone who, for reasons of age, disability or illness, needs additional support to help them live independently.

• Older people
