Who we are
We are Carers Trust Solihull, a charity that provides free help and support for unpaid carers of all ages.
You don’t need to be isolated – we can provide help, guidance, training and social activities for you. If you are not sure whether you are a carer ring us now on 0121 788 1143 or see the further information and links below.
Am I A Carer?
Carers are individuals whose lives are affected by caring for a family member, friend or neighbour who has a physical or learning disability, long term or terminal illness, mental health needs or substance dependency.
- Someone in my house has a disability, illness or is dependent on drug/alcohol, and because of this they need help from me to do things
- I visit someone everyday/most days of the week to ensure they are safe and well and have everything they need to maintain their independence.
- Sometimes I do extra household jobs when the person who has an illness, disability or is dependent on drugs or alcohol is having difficulty doing them
- Sometimes when this person is having a bad day, I will need to stay with them to maintain their safety and wellbeing.
- Sometimes I have to cancel planned activities with family and friends as I am unable to leave this person on their own.
- I help this person get in and out of bed or around the house or I help this person with their personal care as they struggle to manage this themselves.
- If I did not do the things I do to help the person who has a disability or illness they would not be able to cope or would not be safe at home without me.
