Our Banstead volunteers were pleased to welcome Shaun Jones and Claire Robertson of Carers of Epsom to this week’s meeting.
Until last year the charity ran a full support service for carers in the area. Its role changed with the introduction of a single countywide provider.
But Shaun and Claire told us that Carers of Epsom continues to help carers in other ways, including contributing to events and support.
Some of our clients who are carers aren’t fully aware of the part they play or their rights and needs. We can now point to Carers as a possible source of help.
Applications can be made online.
