About us

We have experienced Support Workers with wide ranging experiences such as Social Work, Occupational Therapy and Child, Young Person and Family Support.

A committed and experienced group of Trustees work with us providing our strategic direction.

We are contracted by Cumberland & Westmorland & Furness Councils to undertake Carers Assessments and develop Support Plans.  We also, through our own fundraising activities deliver activities, trips and other support for Young, Adult and Parent Carers.

A Carers Assessment provides Carers with an opportunity to identify what could help them with their caring role. All Carers; Young and Adult, in the UK have a legal right to a Carers Assessment. All professionals working with Carers have a statutory obligation to ensure that Carers are given this opportunity.

We provide information and advice to Carers and have a volunteer programme through which we can provide IT support, Sitting Service, Craft groups, lunch and coffee hubs; at which Carers meet regularly for mutual support.  Young Carers can participate in school holiday trips and activities as well as receiving 1:1 support
