Mission Statement

We offer:

  • Information on all aspects of caring.
  • Help with claiming welfare benefits.
  •  Someone to talk to in confidence.
  • Social events, support groups, training courses and recreational opportunities for carers.
  • The chance to meet other people who are caring for someone too.
  • Opportunities to have a say in how local services are run.
  • Continuing support if your caring role comes to an end.
