 The Older Families Planning Project (OFPP) is a partnership between Sheffield
Sheffield Neighbourhoods and Community Care, Sheffield Care Trust and the Sharing Caring Project. It is a project aimed at supporting the
oldest and most isolated families to plan for the future with greater confidence. The team includes a social
worker and development worker based in the Council, an occupational therapist and community nurse based in
Sheffield Care Trust and a person centred planning facilitator (job-shared), administrator and coordinator
all based at the Sharing caring Project and employed by Sheffield Mencap.
 The project's co-ordinated way of working has proven very successful but time consuming. Outcomes have
included enabling people to stay living in their own homes after their parents have died, make planned moves
before crisis, and get far greater levels of support for their day-to-day needs as older families.
OFPP can be contacted through Sharing Caring Project on 0114 2758879 and by e-mail (scpoffice@sharingcaring.org.uk)
