If you look after an ill, frail or disabled family member, partner or friend then you are a carer.
People often don’t view themselves as carers and as a result can miss out on the various rights, benefits and support which might help them in their role.
Swindon Carers Centre can help carers by making their caring role more manageable. If carers feel supported they are far more likely to be able to support the person they care for.
Vision: Creating a community where carers are recognised, valued and supported
Mission: To improve the wellbeing of people with caring responsibilities in and around Swindon
It’s the first time in eight years I haven’t felt alone. I feel there is someone I can turn to. Swindon Carers Centre was able to get results for me, which stopped me reaching breaking point. Swindon Carers Centre has saved my sanity and kept my family together.” Gina, March 2011
