Carers Trust Tyne And Wear

We're an independent charity supporting unpaid carers and their families. Since 1990, we've worked hard to improve support, services and recognition for Gateshead residents living with the challenge of caring, unpaid, for someone who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or addiction problems. As a network partner of the national Carers Trust, we're part of the largest independent organisation supporting carers in the UK. Our vision is simple. We want to see a better life for carers. Our mission is to support carers to have a life alongside caring. We do this through services that enable carers to continue their caring role whilst having a life of their own and maintaining their own wellbeing. We provide a range of flexible, individualised services to both adult and young carers. This includes: - a specialist Young Carer Service for children and young people age 5-17, providing Young Carer Needs Assessments, social opportunities, skills-based workshops, school drop-ins, emotional support, wellbeing resources and individual grants. - Carer Relief Services that enable carers to have a break as one of our Carer Support Workers takes over their role. Services are arranged around individual need and can be for a few hours, a whole day, overnight or longer. They can be provided in the home or by taking the person with care needs out into the community.
