About Us
Established in March 1988, Carers Careline’s aim is to promote the health, mental and emotional wellbeing of adult carers in the local community through the identification of hidden carers, early intervention, preventative action and pastoral care.
Carers Careline offer a range of services to Engage, Enrich, Empower and Enable carers.
Our services include regular pro-active telephone support calls, a drop-in facility, weekly and monthly groups, bi-monthly events for the carer and the person they care for, a WhatsApp group to connect carers, funded respite breaks for the carer, funded counselling sessions and bereavement group support for the loss of a loved one.
We aim to:
- Reduce the sense of isolation experienced by many carers.
- Provide carers with a range of support services relevant to their needs including carer specific help, information and support underpinned by our Form Filling, Telephone Support, WhatsApp group and Drop-In services.
- Make regular contact with carers either by telephone, email and text allowing for early intervention with difficult situations. Ensuring carers are less likely to reach crisis point.
- Give carers the opportunity for breaks from their caring role and the confidence to meet others by providing opportunities through our groups including Creative Writing, Gentle Keep Fit , Care for Coffee funded by a local coffee shop and through our Community Partnership with Carefree who offer carers free 2-night hotel breaks across the UK.
- Ensure carers are given support and help to maintain and improve their mental health and emotional wellbeing. Offering immediate referral for fully funded counselling by qualified counsellors
- Support the full life cycle of a carer by providing support and signposting to life after carers who find they have lost their identity no longer being a carer and are grieving the loss of a loved one
- Remain local, accessible and available to our local community and the carers within it.
