Carers make Sky Blues dream come true

Available for over a year

Bernie and her partner Rob are part of Coventry's Shared Lives scheme, where adults with additional support needs move into a carers family home. To help find the right fit, matches are based around shared interests. They support Stephen and Kerry, who both have a love for the Sky Blues, which has become a big part of their life together, with Stephen now regularly attending matches with Rob. Their shared experiences go beyond football, with the family also travelling together, including a trip to Egypt to fulfil Kerry’s dream of visiting different countries. BBC CWR’s Dan Sambell has been to meet them.
