Carers Center

If you are a carer you can contact us directly and speak to anyone in the team. We are here to help you and will take your details over the phone.

We can take online referrals from other organisations. Please complete:

Referral Form

For carers over 18 years old. Please let the carer know you are making a referral and complete as much information as possible. We will contact the carer to outline the support we can offer. This could include information over the telephone call with some follow up support or longer term casework (usually up to six months) offering both emotional and practical support. We also make referrals for counselling, money or housing advice and if needed advocacy.

Sometimes families find it hard to think about their children as young carers and this can be for a range of reasons. If you are a professional thinking about making a referral to the Young Carers Project, please talk to the family first. If you want to talk through a family’s situation, without mentioning any names, prior to making a referral then please call for advice. The names of the family you are supporting can remain confidential. We will ask questions about the type of care that is being providing, whether it is on a regular basis and how this is having an impact on the child or young person.

To make a referral please complete the
adult carer form or young carer form.

It may take us a few days to get back to you.
