Breaks from caring
Because breaks can prevent carer stress, crisis and breakdown.
98,000 homecare hours
752 Family Carers’ Prescriptions

Emergency planning
Because carers need to have the comfort of knowing who will be there when they can’t be to stop an emergency becoming a crisis.
4,000 emergency plans registered
Awareness raising
Because at some point in all our lives we will either be a carer or the person being cared for. We all need to understand what that means to ensure greater support is more readily available in our communities, in schools and at work.
