Caring for a loved one can be rewarding, but it can also come with its challenges. Whether you are supporting a relative, friend or neighbour, we know how much you give…and we want to give something back to YOU!
On Tuesday 18th March, we hosted our first-ever Carers Connections Day. A special event just for caregivers promising information, practical advice and connection in a welcoming and supportive space.
Unlocking the information you need to help you to care
The event welcomed those who provide care to someone who couldn’t manage without their help to learn more about the support they can access in their caring role.
Carers were able to speak to the St Clare team about the support available from their local hospice, and meet representatives from local organisations who were on hand to answer all of their questions.
What to expect from Carers Connections
- Expert advice: Learn about the resources, services and financial benefits and entitlements available to help you in your role
- Practical information: Get advice on equipment, environment adaptations and digital support that can help you in your own home
- Emotional support: Connect with others in a similar situation who understand what you’re going through and discover the tools to care for yourself while caring for others
- Community connections: Meet representatives from local organisations dedicated to supporting unpaid carers like you
