1-2-1 Advice and support

Our friendly Advice and Support team are specialists in helping carers with the different challenges they face.

Some of the things we can help you with include:

• Supporting you to complete a Carers Assessment which can help you access support from the Council.
• Explaining the different kinds of benefits you are entitled to as a carer and helping you to apply.
• Helping you apply for grants to pay for one-off expenses, for example when you need to buy new furniture or items such as a fridge.
• Signposting you to the right services or people with the specific expertise to help you when you are not sure who is the right person or organisation to speak to, for example for issues with sexuality, faith, housing or debt.

We provide support face-to-face, on the phone and by email and will always work with you in the way that suits you best.
