Our services
what we offer
Carers4Carers offer a range of services and one to one support to reduce loneliness and isolation and improve the
emotional, physical and financial wellbeing of carers.
“Living on my own, not understanding the environment, feeling very isolated to the point where I would walk out of my house and go to the streets to cry because I didn’t want to cry inside, I don’t want my house to hold all my grief and then finding that I walk into a place where people are not lecturing me, people are actually touching me. I didn’t realise, how much I needed to be touched. It’s had this very uplifting effect on my mood, my perception of myself, my perception of the street where I live, my perception of the world. I’m now beginning to remember things in life that used to interest me other than my son’s situation. It’s making me reengage with me. I can now say ‘no I can’t see you on Friday because I have an appointment with myself and those who support me.’ For me Carers4Carers is my support system, it’s a refuge if you like, it’s a place of relief and a place that honours me and my values and my concerns. It allows me to step aside from my anxieties and step inside my aspirations and my vision of myself.”
