Who we are

We are a charity with a mission to support unpaid carers of all ages in Solihull. We know the challenges that carers face because of their caring role. There can be huge demands on a carer’s time, health, physical and emotional well-being. Our job is to make sure that someone is looking after them. We are here to offer advice, information, training, emotional and practical support and much needed time out or respite. All of our services are free of charge.

Am I A Carer?

Not sure if you are a carer? Carers can be children or adults whose lives are affected by caring for a family member, friend or neighbor who relies on them for help. This could be you if the person you care for has: a physical or learning disability; a long term or terminal illness; sensory impairment, mental health needs; or substance dependency. The reasons family or friends may need our support can vary. If you care for someone on a regular basis, we are here to help you. Do you support have a family member, friend or neighbour who:

Couldn’t manage without your help due to care needs?
You provide support with mobility, around the house or out and about
You help with their personal care e.g. getting dressed or washed?
Regularly needs your emotional support?
Needs your help with appointments, shopping, daily tasks, budgeting or with communication?

If you answer “yes” to any combination of the above, you are carer.
