Carers’ Telephone Out Service

image

Carers are often isolated because of their caring responsibilities and may not easily be able to leave their home to access services. On behalf of the Carers' Hub, Crossroads Care - South Thames is developing a new service to support carers in this situation.

The service, which will start in early 2010, will keep in regular contact with carers. It will be provided through a volunteer programme offering peer support from current and former carers. The service will be made available Monday – Friday 9am to 5pm; however, the Carers’ Hub will also seek to extend this to cover an out of hours service at weekends and evenings.
