There are now 56 Micro-provider businesses within Denbighshire, who provide around 1,096 hours of care and support to over 245 residents each week.

These businesses help citizens in a number of different ways, including helping with meals, shopping, trips out, practical help around the house, DIY, personal care, cleaning, dog walking, companionship, and more.

The Micro-provider initiative is a free development programme, which supports residents to set up their own Micro-provider service in their local communities. The initiative allows people to become self-employed, working days and hours that suit them. It also means that these businesses are helping local people in their community.

Nick Hughes, Deputy Team Manager, Edge of Care Team said:

“Providing over 1000 hours a week of support to help people live in their own homes for longer, is an amazing achievement by all the micro-providers.

The personalised support they offer is proving to be invaluable support to people across Denbighshire.”

Ann Lloyd, Head of Adult Social Care & Homelessness Service said:

“The Micro-provider initiative is going from strength to strength, providing care and support to many residents within Denbighshire.

Micro-providers throughout Denbighshire offer people with a range of important and valuable care and support services within their own community.”
