Carer Money Matters
As a carer, we understand that your own concerns often take a back seat because you’re so dedicated to looking after your loved ones.
However, we know that financial pressures can add extra stress. That’s why we’re here to offer support and guidance, helping to ease the burden.
Through our Carer Money Matters programme, we’ll empower you with the knowledge and tools to manage your finances confidently, ensuring your home remains safe and comfortable.
We're committed to helping you access the financial assistance you deserve, so money becomes one less thing to worry about.
"Managing your money well means making lots of small changes that influence the bigger picture. I can help you identify those small wins that really add up."
Charlie, The Carers' Centre Energy Advisor
How can we help you?
Carer Money Matters is designed to help in several key areas:
Income maximisation
Get help with benefit checks, tax credits, and rebates to ensure you receive all available financial support.
Debt advice
We understand that balancing caring responsibilities and finances isn’t easy, and we can help you to access the support you need to manage and reduce debt.
Energy advice
We can provide free advice on energy saving and energy debt, and we can help you get on the Priority Services Register with your supplier.
Home safety
Workshops and one-on-one sessions will raise awareness of carbon monoxide dangers, and we'll distribute locking cooker valves and CO alarms to enhance safety.
We also know that many carers are either forced to leave work altogether or to reduce their paid hours because of the pressures of their caring roles. So, if you’re thinking about how to balance work and caring, we can also support with things like interview practice, job searching and getting your CV into shape.
Taking care of others means taking care of yourself. So, access the help you deserve to help the people you love.
