Carers Count

Carers Count

Carers Count is a new service for any adult (Aged over 17) in Kirklees who gives, or has given, time and energy, without being paid, to look after a family member or friend who can not manage on their own.
At Carers Count they recognise that being a carer can impact on your day to day life significantly, including, emotionally (it can be both rewarding and isolating), financially (you may be unable to work)and physically (your own health can suffer as a result).

Carers Count has been set up to promote the wellbeing of carers so they can continue in their caring role and have a life of their own by;
* Providing quality advice and information
* Running groups, activities and sessions.
* Providing support and helping carers to support each other.
* Helping carers have a voice and be heard through the advocacy service and the Carers Network.
* Providing training
* Helping to raise awareness of carers rights and issues to the wider public.
