YTD Raised: £1,382.20Our work is based on the simple premise that if parents get support and friendship from another parent, they will be better equipped to learn to cope with the many difficulties life can bring, and will be able to give their children the best possible start in their own lives. Through a network of trained parent volunteers we support families who are not coping as well as they would like. Families need support for many different reasons including postnatal illness, disability, bereavement, mental health, parenting or social isolation.Our support is tailored, personalised, non judgemental and delivered to families in their own homes and through social activities. All our volunteers are DBS checked and attend an eight week training course which covers issues such as confidentiality, safeguarding and working with families.We always need new volunteers and all our volunteers have parenting experience. We support our volunteers with ongoing training and regular supervision. Our volunteers give just 2 hours per week of their time and their travel expenses are paid.

Unpaid Carers look after family members and friends who couldn't manage without their support because of illness, frailty, disability or substance misuse problems. Hannah who is a member of the Carers' Support Service team is also a Carer for her grandmother who has Dementia. She has taken on the challenge of running the London Marathon to help raise awareness of Carers in North East Lincolnshire. 3 in 5 of us can expect to become a Carer at some time in our lives. The Carers' Support Centre has been supporting Carers in Northern Lincolnshire for over 27 years. We are here to support Carers throughout their caring journey and beyond. At its simplest, the support we provide gives Carers information and knowledge to help them be independent and take control of their lives. The right information at the right time can be life changing. Stress, depression, loneliness, isolation, are just some experience Carers go through as a result of being a Carer. Over 80% say they experience poor mental and physical health and well-being. We ensure we understand an individual Carers situation so that we can provide specific support to meet their needs. The support we provide is completely free. “The Carers Centre kept me going through my darkest moments. I used to go into the centre in tears and when I left I felt the sun was shining and I felt more hopeful" "The Carers' Support Centre really helped me to accept myself and look at things differently. I am coping better now and feel I have been given the tools to cope. I feel stronger in myself. Your support has been a great help" There are over 7 million Carers in the UK, together saving the UK economy £129 billion every year! Carers selflessly put the needs of other before their own. They are an unsung army of ordinary people who provide more than three quarters of care in the community. We work tirelessly to ensure Carers know that support is available and that they are not alone.
