Care for Carers

Support During COVID-19

What support can carers expect during the COVID-19 pandemic from Care for Carers? Please see our Care for Carers COVID-19 Pathway leaflet for a summary of how we can help and where to seek assistance.

Carers Week 2020

In celebration of this year's Carers Week, we are delighted to share this very special RAS 200 film about our Dark Sky Astronomy Break to the Isle of Coll.

An excellent opportunity to enjoy our past adventures while we look forward to creating new ones in the future.

Coronavirus Covid19 Service Impacts

We know the impact of Covid19 is a major concern to all of us and especially you as carers. We are working with Scottish Government guidance and have taken the following steps:

· Staff will be working remotely from home by Thursday the 19th of March, there will be no office cover for the duration.

· All staff will be continuing to provide support and information but by telephone and email only.

· All services which are face to face, support groups, events, activities and residential short breaks have been suspended and postponed for the duration. Please keep an eye on our website and facebook pages for any updates.

· All our email addresses and contact telephone numbers are on the attached newsletter, a copy of which will be sent out to everybody on our mailing list tomorrow. Please keep a copy so you can contact us as needed.

· The landline will be re-directed to a mobile device and all calls will be picked up.

· Mail will be re-directed.

There is Covid19 information and contact advice information on the attached newsletter. We will be planning to get a new programme of events and breaks up and running as soon as is possible but in the meantime please take care.

In the meantime, if we are able to we will try to help in a practical way - for example picking up prescriptions, shopping and dropping it at the door, and so on.

From all at Care for Carers - Ruth, Dipa, Jacqui, Jackie and Erica.
