Objectives

Swindon Carers Centre is a charitable organisation, which is part of the Carers Trust Network, which provides help and support to the 21,000 unpaid carers in Swindon.  

The main benefit the charity delivers is support for carers carrying out a caring role for someone with a physical or mental health condition, a learning disability, or a drug or alcohol dependency; and to promote the development of self help. 

This enables carers to have a quality of life alongside their caring role, and ensures carers are supported to sustain their caring role, reducing or delaying the requirement for statutory services for carers and those they care for.  

Activities

Swindon Carers Centre supports adult, parent and young carers who provide unpaid support to a family member, friend or neighbour who would otherwise be unable to manage without this support due to a physical or mental health condition, a learning disability or a drug or alcohol dependency. The support we provide includes:

  • Provision of information
  • Signposting to other relevant organisations
  • One to one support, including assistance in accessing services
  • Benefits advice
  • Access to breaks, activities and complementary therapies
  • Training sessions and self-help groups
  • Outreach work
  • Carer involvement forums
