Carer Support Wiltshire Logo

Worried about making ends meet for you or the people you’re caring for?

As a carer, we know that your own worries aren’t always at the top of your list.

But we also know that there are so many other things you’re worrying about too. Many of you have told us you’re struggling to make ends meet and pay bills on time.

That’s why we’re here to help make money less of a worry.

We want to help you feel more confident about money, for you and the people you’re caring for. Carer Money Matters can help you understand, and get, the financial support you’re entitled to.

We offer free advice on energy saving and energy debt, and we can help you get on the Priority Services Register with your supplier. This will help you get extra support with things like meter readings, advance warnings of supply interruptions and how to save on cooking and heating. You’ll also get priority reconnection if your supply is interrupted. We’ll also advise you on practical ways to reduce your energy bills that work for your individual circumstances.

Our Financial Wellbeing Officers can talk to you about other money matters too, whether it’s for you or the people you care for. We understand that balancing caring responsibilities and finances isn’t easy, and we can help you to access the support you need to manage money and reduce debt.

We also know that a majority of carers are either forced to leave work altogether or to reduce their paid hours because of the pressures of their caring roles. So if you’re thinking about how to balance work and caring, we can also support with things like interview practice, job searching and getting your CV into shape.
