Carers Center

Putting Carers First

Our services will focus on supporting carers, seeing things from their point of view. However, many carers need better services for the person they care for. We will therefore take a holistic approach to all our work, considering the needs of carers, and those they care for.

Empowering Carers

In all our work we will aim to empower individual carers to take control of their lives, play a full part in the local community and to move on from their role when appropriate. We believe that carers themselves are the most powerful force for change, and we aim to give carers a real voice in local services.

Involving Carers

We are committed to providing services which respond to carers needs and to enabling carers and former carers to take an active part in our work. Carers are an essential resource to provide support for each other.

Equality

We want our services to be accessible and appropriate to all carers in Brighton and Hove. We will undertake development work to achieve this.

Service Delivery

We will work in partnership with statutory and voluntary agencies, whilst retaining our independence. In doing so, we will use our resources effectively to provide a responsive and contemporary service to carers. Where we have identified needs that are not best met by our organisation, we will work pro-actively with other organisations to ensure that appropriate and timely services are provided.

A Challenging and Supportive Place to Work

We aim to provide a challenging workplace for staff and volunteers, with an open and consultative management style, and to provide the support that people need to do their jobs.
