We support unpaid carers in West Sussex to improve their health and wellbeing

£50 - Allows one person who's second language is English to have counselling in their first language.

We are there for unpaid carers when they are most in need.

  • We are a carer facing helpline offering information, guidance, and practical support. We are a gateway for carers to emotional, specialist, peer support and learning.
  • We work with carers, communities, and partners in the County of West Sussex and throughout the South East of England.
  • We meet carers where they are at on their carer journey asking the right questions at the right times, offering them recognition and empowerment, as well as a sense of community from their peers.
  • We know that mothers, sons, fathers, daughters, friends, lovers, partners, husbands, wives, and family do so much for others every day while trying to maintain a life for themselves.

There are more than 120,000 carers in this county.

Our strategy is designed to focus on being there for unpaid carers when they are most in need.

Vision

Carers are at the heart of our strategy. Imagine a world where carers do not have to fight to be heard and recognised. A world where carers feel valued and supported for who they are and what they do.

Our vision is to bring the day forward when unpaid carers are seen, heard, and included.

Values

  • We are focused,putting carers at the heart of everything we do.
  • We act together,working with and for carers, the communities they live in and the people, that can make a difference to them.
  • We are leaders,working with each other to find potential and opportunities across all communities, enabling carers to be identified and involved.

  • Caring- improving quality of life and influencing behaviour change
