What is Supporting People?

The Supporting People programme offers vulnerable people the opportunity to improve their quality of life by providing a stable environment which enables greater independence.

Supporting People delivers high quality and strategically planned housing-related services which are cost effective and reliable, and complement existing care services. The planning and development of services are needs led. Supporting People is a working partnership of local government, service users and support agencies.

MyManchesterServices

Manchester City Council has recently launched a new website to help adults in Manchester to find out about the support available in their local area. The website, MyManchesterServices is for adults in Manchester who need advice and information on a wide range of services.

MyManchesterServices has detailed information about more than 1,300 services and opportunities in the city, from advice about benefits, to yoga classes for people with disabilities, as well as social opportunities and other services to help improve residents' quality of life. It is envisaged that the site will be used by adults, their carers, friends and relatives, as well as people whose job involves supporting adults. People using the site can get map details, print off the information they require, as well as link to other organisations.

We hope you find this site informative and easy to use.
