Company activities and impact

Support and Match CIC provides live-in companions to people who have support needs so they can live more independently. These individuals may be elderly, experiencing Dementia, or living with physical or mental disabilities. We match companions, often those in need of affordable accommodation due to financial constraints,with householders who require support and companionship. In exchange for providing regular assistance and social interaction, companions benefit from affordable housing in the home of the person needing support. During this financial year, Support&Match CIC has successfully facilitated a significant number of these supportive housing arrangements, delivering mutual benefits: individuals and families receive in-home support that fosters independent living, companions secure stable accommodation, and local authorities experience reduced care costs. We operate the Homeshare programme and other supportive housing initiatives, as detailed on our website (www.supportmatch.co.uk). We are currently working with NHS Southwest England, Cornwall Council, and other local authorities and community well-being organizations to address pressing needs related to accommodation, support, and housing. As part of our collaboration with the NHS, we identify householders and homeowners willing to offer NHS doctors, medical students, and social care workers affordable accommodation in their homes. Through these efforts, we aim to alleviate the housing pressures faced by medical professionals and care workers. Areas of Impact in Communities (Support and Match CIC): Expanding Access to Housing: Unlocking housing stock that might otherwise remain unavailable. Affordable In-Home Support: Making it possible for seniors or vulnerable individuals to remain at home with a companion who can assist with daily tasks. Reducing Pressure on Care Services: Easing the demand on social and healthcare services by providing an alternative, cost-effective support solution. Supporting Workforce Mobility: Facilitating the relocation and job acceptance of individuals affected by accommodation shortages (e.g., NHS and social care staff). Building Stronger Communities: Cultivating meaningful relationships that promote a sense of connection and intergenerational understanding. Raising Awareness: Championing community-based support models that create social impact. Encouraging Intergenerational Living: Fostering mutual support between different age groups, contributing to social cohesion. Combating Loneliness: Helping vulnerable individuals avoid isolation and improve their mental and emotional well-being. Supporting Mental Wellbeing: Offering stability and companionship for those experiencing mental health challenges. Looking ahead, we plan to extend this model further across the UK to reach more people, encourage wider take-up among local authorities, and continue addressing the growing need for both affordable housing and comprehensive support services.

Consultation with stakeholders

Its members: Sibel Whitehead & Zaira De Novellis whose work for the CIC encourages the other stakeholders such as the local community and councils in helping the CIC achieve its targets and deliverables as set out in Part 1. The company’s stakeholders include: Our members (Directors/Founders), who guide the overall vision and operations of the CIC. Local communities, including the individuals who require support, their families, and companions who provide that support. NHS and local authority partners, such as Cornwall Council and other councils, with whom we coordinate to align our Homeshare offerings with community needs. Charitable and community well-being organizations that collaborate with us to increase awareness and accessibility of our services. How We Consult: We engage in regular communication with local authority representatives, participating in periodic reviews and discussions about evolving housing and care needs. We gather feedback from both householders and companions through surveys and follow-up calls, enabling us to refine our matching process and improve support services. We hold occasional focus groups or feedback sessions with community and healthcare stakeholders to ensure our services continue to address pressing local challenges. Actions Taken: After receiving input on the importance of rural outreach, we have actively increased our recruitment of householders in more remote areas, ensuring that isolated or vulnerable individuals can benefit from our services. We have also adapted our communication materials to better educate companions and householders about Homeshare’s benefits, reflecting insights from stakeholder feedback about the need for clarity on mutual responsibilities and expectations.
