Carers – Are you a carer?

Carers are people who provide, or intend to provide (for example following a hospital admission) a substantial amount of support on a regular basis to a relative or friend because of age, illness or disability, where the relative or friend is eligible to receive community care services. If you know any one caring for someone who benefit from extra help then contact Kate (kate.ferguson@theabbeycentre.org.uk) at the Abbey Centre.
