Useful Contacts
No caring roles are the same but most carers
will experience similar issues and need similar support. In some
caring situations, it is best to find out more specific information
about support available so please contact us on 0800 389
2896 or visit our website for more information.
If you speak little or no English, you can still
call us on 0800 389 2896 and the adviser will be
able to arrange for an interpreter to join you both on the
telephone to discuss your needs.
There are a variety of ways in which you can be
supported as a carer. Support is available for carers across the
county from:
