Supporting People
Who We Are
In April 2003 a new government programme was set up called
"Supporting People".
We have a pot of money to pay for housing services and
supporting people.
In Bath and North East Somerset Supporting People gives money to
lots of different organisations who provide support.
We support about 3,000 different people.
