Carer Support Wiltshire is proud to announce that we are exclusively publishing our ‘Essential Guide for Unpaid Carers’ for free, ensuring that everyone who needs it will have unlimited access to this valuable resource.
Developed in conjunction with our unique workshops funded by the Health Inequalities Fund, this guide aims to provide essential information and support to unpaid carers in our community.
We have already conducted two workshops in Salisbury and Trowbridge, with 10 more scheduled throughout the year. At these sessions, we delved into the definition of an unpaid carer and explored the various challenges faced by individuals who provide vital support to their loved ones. Participants shared their own experiences, offering advice and insights for others embarking on a similar journey.
One of the key themes discussed during these workshops was the importance of self-care. We highlighted the need for carers to prioritize their own well-being and seek out the support they need to effectively fulfil their caregiving responsibilities. It is crucial for carers to recognize that they are not alone in their journey and that there are resources available to help them navigate the challenges they may encounter.
Our ‘Essential Guide for Unpaid Carers’ covers a range of important topics, including where to start, how to access support, managing finances, balancing caregiving responsibilities with work or education, and planning for the future. We have also provided a directory of useful contacts to help carers connect with relevant services and organizations in their area.
We believe that this guide will serve as a valuable resource for unpaid carers, offering practical advice and support to help them navigate the complexities of caregiving. Whether you are just beginning your caregiving journey or have been providing support for years, this guide is designed to provide you with the information and resources you need to effectively care for your loved ones while also taking care of yourself.
We invite you to access our ‘Essential Guide for Unpaid Carers’ for free here. We hope that this resource will be beneficial to you and provide you with the support you need as an unpaid carer. Thank you for all that you do and remember that you are not alone – Carer Support Wiltshire is here to help.
