Our carers' centre operates a drop-in service every Wednesday afternoon (3pm-5pm). You are welcome to call in without a prior appointment and meet our staff, browse the information library and ask any questions you may have about carers and our work.

We can also arrange for a member of our staff to visit your organisation and give a presentation on carers issues. If you work in primary care, we can provide a "Carers Awareness" programme, please contact our Health Services Liaison Worker for more details.

Our umbrella organisation, The Princess Royal Trust for Carers, has developed a website and factsheets for professionals working with carers. To visit this site please click here.

Please contact us to discuss any of these further.

Would you like to come along to one of our events?

Every 2 months we hold a Carers Forum on a topic of interest to local carers. If this topic relates to the work you do, you are very welcome to join us with an information stand. Please contact us if you are also interested in giving a presentation or hosting a workshop.

Carers' Forums coming up:

14th February – Health & Social Care
10th April – Employment, Training and Education
12th June – Money & Benefits
14th August – Housing & Adaptations
9th October – Health & Wellbeing
December - Carers’ Rights Day

After some of the Carers' Forums we hold a feedback seminar for local professionals. At these events the issues that carers have raised with us are reported back and discussed. This is a useful opportunity to share experiences and ideas of meeting carers' needs in the future.

We are also keen for professionals to come and speak at our carers' support groups. We have a range of groups meeting monthly across the borough. If you would like to offer your professional advice to carers please contact us.
