The Carers Directory is an important new resource which, we hope, will benefit as many as possible of the Borough's 47,000 unpaid carers.
The directory is organised into a number of different sections, each of which deals with a topic of particular concern to carers:
- Community Care Services (.pdf, 68kb)
- Benefits and money issues (.pdf, 72kb)
- Work and caring (.pdf, 37kb)
- Learning and development (.pdf, 48kb)
- Housing (.pdf, 47kb)
- Holidays and recreational opportunities (.pdf, 66kb)
- Transport and mobility (.pdf, 74kb)
- Young carers (.pdf, 31kb)
- Health and well being (.pdf, 37kb)
- When caring ends (.pdf, 31kb)
- Handy hints (.pdf, 32kb)
- Emergency telephone list (.pdf, 16kb)
There is also information about organisations that you can go to for further help and advice (.pdf, 37kb), local carers groups (.pdf, 94kb) and national organisations that support people with specific illnesses and disabilities (.pdf, 44kb).
If you would like a paper copy of the directory, or know of any groups or organisations whose details we could include in future editions, please contact the Carers Support Team.
