How we can help

We're here to help by offering information and guidance to support you in your caring role.

Getting in touch is easy. Call our information line on 0844 225 3099 where you can chat to one of our trained advisers. Our professional advice includes:

  • Your rights as a Family Carer
  • How to access an iCAREbudget and advice on Carers' assessments
  • How to get a break
  • Free tuition on how to move and handle the person you care for safely
  • Planning for an emergency
  • Practical information on money and legal matters
  • Events and activities taking place in your area
  • Advice on keeping yourself and your family safe in your home

We also actively work to promote the role of Family Carers. We regularly liaise with the police, firefighters and hospital workers to help them better understand the issues facing Family Carers and, in turn, be more sympathetic to Family Carers in their staff.

As soon as you register with us you will start receiving our newsletter and begin to make the most of our services, events, activities and training.
