Description:
The home of support for all unpaid carers in and around Worcestershire. We are a registered charity providing a range of information, advice and support to carers. The charity was founded by a group of carers in 1997 with the aim of being an organisation run by carers for carers. By a carer we mean anyone who provides any of the following unpaid support to a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental ill-health or substance misuse problems.
Our services include:
Worcestershire Carers Hub:
- Person centred support for carers
- Training and information sessions
- Emergency planning and Carers Emergency Cards
Carer Voice: supporting carers to make themselves heard
Carer Wellbeing Service: providing a range of opportunities for carers to improve or maintain their physical and mental wellbeing
Carers Unlimited: giving carers a break from their caring role and reducing social isolation and loneliness
Carer Assist: supporting carers working in the NHS
Carer Friendly Employer Network: we work with employers to encourage them to identify and support carers in the workplace
We also provide a range of community wellbeing services in Redditch, including Social Prescribing, Lifestyle Advice and Weight Management support.
