Story
We all know someone who focuses their time on caring for a person with addition health needs such as a child with a disability, an elderly parent with dementia, a family member with addiction or life-limiting condition. Especially at this time, their care for the most vulnerable in society is part of the front line in the fight against the pandemic. Let the carers in our community know that they are stars.
By donating a star you are helping VOCAL to reach out to more carers in our community to provide the practical and emotional support to ensure they are resilient and in the best possible physical and mental health to carry out their caring role.
£5 will enable us to send out an information pack to a new carer contacting us for the first time not just a set of leaflets but a tailored booklet reflecting their circumstances and identifying next steps.
A gift of £50 can fund a counselling session for a carer in crisis or a special advice surgery session for carers seeking help on issues such as Power of Attorney or Guardianship.
With a £200 donation we can provide an online learning and wellbeing session for a group of carers which will help them be more knowledgeable and resilient in their caring role.
