Thurrock Carers Service can provide information, advice and support for unpaid carers who support relatives, friends or neighbours who would find it difficult to manage without their help.
Many people don’t see themselves as carers – they might be parents, children, partners, friends or neighbours. A carer can be any age and come from any background or community.
Have you been caring for a few months, several years or on a temporary basis? It’s easy to forget about your own needs when you’re caring for someone else, but it is important to look after yourself.
Caring can be very rewarding, but it also makes demands on your time, your health and your emotions, and can be very tiring. So, taking an occasional break from caring is essential – it gives you the chance to recharge your batteries.
We can help with:
- Employment support
- Volunteering support
- Carers support groups
- Carers benefits
- Welfare forms
- Counselling
- Lasting Power of Attorney
- Carers assessments
- Social care assessments
- Access to social activities
- Respite
- Medical resource information
- Information on direct payments
- Education/Training support
