Adult social care

If you need help with things such as your cleaning, laundry, shopping or gardening there's lots of services and support groups around Barnsley who can help. You can find a service on the Live Well Barnsley website.

Visit our housing webpages for advice about how to make your home warmer and cheaper to run, this includes energy saving measures such as new boilers and insulation, and how to get help with energy bills. If you're a Berneslai Homes tenant, contact them to find out about the support you could get as part of your tenancy agreement.

If you need more advice and think you'd benefit from having a social care assessment, find out how we can help with your care needs.
