Why you should refer carers to our service
Other ways that we work with professionals

Carer Awareness Training
It is important that professionals who work with carers understand what the caring role involves and what services are available to them. Our team offer Carer Awareness Training to groups of professionals to refresh their knowledge and inform of new services that may be on offer. We can come out to team meetings to ensure that we reach as many people as possible.

If you would like one of our Support Workers to attend a meeting please contact our Partnerships Manager on 01323 738390 to discuss your needs.

Information Events
We aim to attend as many events throughout the year as possible as a way of raising awareness of carers and of the services that we and other partner organisations offer. We are happy to attend other organisations information events and to work together with other professionals to provide an holistic range of information on services that are on offer.

To see what events we are attending over the upcoming months, please see our Events Calendar. Or if you would like us to attend an event you are holding please contact the Information Coordinator on 01323 738390.
