We
offer free, confidential and independent advice and information to support
carers.
Many carers
find that talking to others who are also caring can really make a difference!
We can put
you in contact with carers support groups in your area. We can also assist
you to arrange the help you need to attend meetings, eg: transport.
Did you know
that...
- One household
in every five has someone who needs care
- The Government
has recognised the imprtant contribution carers make and has given them
certain rights under the Carers Recognition and Services Act 1995
- As carer
you are entitled to an assessment of your needs by
Social Services. You have the right whether or not the person you care
for accepts an assessment of their needs.
