At Carers Count we recognise that being a carer can impact on your day to day life significantly, including, emotionally (it can be both rewarding and isolating), financially (you may be unable to work) and physically (your own health can suffer as a result).

Carers Count has been set up to promote the wellbeing of carers so they can continue in their caring role and have a life of their own by;

• Providing quality advice and information

• Running groups, activities and sessions.

• Providing support and helping carers to support each other.

• Helping carers have a voice and be heard through the advocacy service and the Carers Network.

• Providing training

• Helping to raise awareness of carers rights and issues to the wider public.

Any carer contacting and using the service can expect;

• To be listened to and taken seriously

• To be treated with respect.

• To be supported in a way that meets their individual needs
