About This Business
A carer is someone who, without payment, provides help and support to a friend, neighbour or relative who could not manage otherwise because of frailty, illness or disability. They may even be juggling paid work with caring responsibilities at home. Carers have a tough job – it can mean unrelenting pressure, little chance to relax and a lot of worry. The system is complicated, and the issue is hidden.
The Carers’ Resource offers a range of services across all its localities. We can provide individually tailored information to carers, professionals and vulnerable adults, on, for example:
- Available support – whether financial, practical or emotional – and how to access it
- Hospital admission and discharge processes
advice on benefits entitlement (where we can do so)
- How to plan for the future, using our experience
- How to develop new hobbies and interests
- How to find leisure, learning and employment opportunities
- Where you can go to form links with other carers through groups and activities
To find out more about the services we offer, follow the menu links on this website or download our leaflet.
