Connect with carers like you
Being a carer can often be lonely and isolating, with little time to socialise and do the things you enjoy. You may feel like your life is very different from other people’s and that no one understands how you feel.
By talking to other carers, you can give and receive advice from people in a similar situation who understand.
Local groups
Local carers groups take place in Coventry which you can come along to as and when you can. You can find out more information on groups in your area by contacting the Carers Trust or visiting Coventry Council website
Important information for you...
Many people who care for someone else are not aware of their entitlements – and some don’t see themselves as a carer at all.
It’s important that you know what benefits you can receive, from financial support to practical help and time off caring. Knowing that there is help and support available helps to give peace of mind.
