The aim of the Carers Centre is to provide unpaid carers in North West areas of Glasgow with practical help and emotional support. We offer the following services to carers:

• Information and Advice – including support to access services through health and social work.
• Emotional support and a listening ear – both through individual Carer Support Workers and through peer support groups.
• Respite – help to access short breaks and respite.
• Income Maximisation – including information on benefits and help to access grants and charitable trusts.
• Training and wellbeing to help you take care of your personal needs and support you in your caring role.
• Help for carers to have their voice heard – representing carers with individual issues and campaigning on a local and national level for carers’ rights.
