Carers are often carrying out their role unrecognised and without support. Unsupported Carers can experience poor health reducing their ability to sustain their role. They also experience social isolation, and increased frustration. Many Carers do not recognise themselves as Carers, merely a partner, son or daughter, parent or friend.

Our befrienders are able to relieve social isolation, provide emotional support, and empathise with the frustrations experienced by those in the caring role. Our sitting service enables Carers to take a break from their role. Volunteers also assist in staffing events designed to identify additional Carers in the county.
