Carer Connect

Caring for someone often comes with significant responsibility. Many carers find themselves managing these challenges alone, or with less time to see friends, family, or take part in their community. Over time, this can lead to feelings of loneliness and social isolation.

​

Our ‘Carer Connect’ service aims to reduce social isolation and connect carers with their community. It provides an opportunity for carers to speak to one of our team of volunteers on a regular basis, either about their caring situation or just a chat about anything but their caring role. Our aim is to work with the carer to see how we can help them reconnect with their community, providing information about groups and various activities.

​

We also offer support to people whose caring role has come to an end, whether the person they cared for has passed away or moved into permanent residential care. When caring stops, many individuals can feel lost, experience grief, or be uncertain about what comes next after the responsibility of caring is gone. Our Carer Connect volunteers are here to help carers navigate this transition and feel supported during this difficult time.
