These include:
📌 Access support
📌 Juggle care and work

Do you help someone who would otherwise struggle? Are you caring for someone unpaid - family member, friend or neighbour ?
Consider registering as a Carer with DEVON CARERS. Take a look online and find out more about their extensive free services & support.

Devon Carers are joining us next week at The Courtenay Centre. If you’re seeking any help or support for Caring, Dementia, Benefits, Home Energy, Housing, Young People, MH & more, our Wellbeing Team are hosting the next Newton Abbot Community Support service on Wednesday 12th November between 10.30-12.30.

Pop along and meet our friendly team & specialist organisations and charities.
It’s FREE! Everyone is welcome 🙂

Do you need a break from your caring role? 🙋

We have teamed up with Carefree to offer 1-2 night breaks for a one-off admin fee of £33 (one break per year allowed)🧳

If you are registered with us as an adult unpaid carer, who is supporting someone 18yrs+, able to provide 30 hours of care a week, apply by contacting us and we can act as your referrer to speed up the application process! 💻

Alternatively, if you are an adult caring for someone under 18yrs, you can apply direct to Carefree. You will need to provide proof of being an unpaid carer, caring for someone 30 hours a week.

For more information visit: 👉 https://devoncarers.org.uk/have-your-say/carefree-breaks/

If you have already enjoyed your Carefree break, why not let us know how it helped you to take some time away, by emailing us at: online@devoncarers.org.uk
