We currently provide support to over 80 people, employing about 85 staff members. We match each person with a Support Worker who has the skills, interests, and personality to make for a good relationship. Over 90% of our current members are referred to us directly by Care Managers, who are Social Workers from Leeds City Council, although families and carers, or self-referrals are the other routes for being part of Count Me In support.
