Do you provide care or support to a parent, child, partner, relative, neighbour or friend who has an illness, disability, addiction, or is older and frail? If the answer is yes, then you are a carer. There’s lot of information, advice and practical support available for carers, from Dudley Carers Hub including:
- Emotional support
- Advice on respite services
- Specialist training courses for carers
- Information on financial and legal rights
- Help with arranging a carers assessment
- A specialist Dudley Young Carers Service
- Advice on accessing social care and health and wellbeing services
- Support with getting out and about, including social groups and carers groups
Dudley Carers Hub and Wellbeing Service, run by Dudley Council, supports unpaid carers of all ages. The service is a partnership which includes commissioned providers (Forward Carers, Action For Children, Crossroads Caring For Carers, Bridgit) and community-based services (Hospital Carers Co-Ordinator, Just Straight Talk).
The service supports unpaid carers aged over 18 years and works closely with the Dudley Young Carers Service which supports young carers aged 5 to 17 years – if you are concerned about a young person please contact Children’s Services
There are two hubs located at Queens Cross Network (by appointment only) in Dudley and Brett Young Centre in Halesowen (open 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays).
