Supporting People is the government’s long term policy to enable local authorities to plan, commission and provide housing-related support services that help vulnerable people to live independently.  It provides the means through which national and local Government ensure that the most vulnerable members of our community get the help and support they need.

In Newcastle, Supporting People is managed by a partnership between Newcastle City Council, the Probation Service for Northumbria and North of Tyne Primary Care Trust. The partnership commissions services for people of all ages and with a wide range of different support needs, to help them live independently in the community.
