What we've achieved
"It is so reassuring to know that there is always someone I can talk to if necessary."
From talking with carers we know that many are feeling worried about accessing paid care support, the rising cost of living (75%), taking a break from their caring role and the ongoing strain on NHS (waiting times) (75%).
The Support Team has continued to provide empathetic support to carers - helping them navigate complex emotions, unfamiliar care systems, providing financial advice, and assisting with sourcing additional funding for a range of equipment, household bills and respite breaks.
The team have worked alongside carers to build bespoke support and emergency plans so that carers can have a fulfilling and manageable life alongside their caring role.
Hear from our community...
"It was just a really nice break for them and for me to be able to do something different."
Louise reached out to our Support Line for advice. With the help of our Support Team, she secured funding for a short break during the summer for her and her children.
