The All-Age Carers’ Support Service
The All-Age Carers’ Support Service is delivered by North Staffs Carers and provides a single point of call for all carers. North Staffs Carers work alongside a number of local partner organisations, Young Carers Assessment Team and Adult Social Care to maximise support and bring together services to form a clear pathway, ensuring carers receive seamless individualised support throughout their caring journey.
All support workers have extensive knowledge of carers, with some having specialised experience around long-term conditions, drug and alcohol misuse, learning disability, mental health, parent carers amongst all other caring roles. Carers will also receive support from our telephone befriending service to help reduce loneliness and isolation.
Outreach groups and drop-in sessions are located in various settings throughout Stoke-on-Trent offering localised and flexible support, preventing carers having to travel large distances to access support. Groups within local communities give carers the chance to partake in activities offering an opportunity to take a respite break, learn new skills, develop existing ones, and improve self-esteem and confidence. Encouraging carers to be connected and feel part of their local communities, they are also made aware of local services and how to access them.
