Adult Carers
Renfrewshire Carers Centre supports Adult Carers by providing a range of services listed below.
We offer a range of events and activities to allow Carers time away from their caring role and the opportunity to socialise with other Carers in similar situations.
New Carers to the Centre, can, if they wish be allocated an Adult Carer Support Worker. You can make a referral online or you can call and speak to a member of staff on 0141 887 3643.
We’re here to help in any way we can. Here you can find support information and FAQs, including accessing the Citizens Advice Bureau through ourselves.
A Carer is someone who looks after or intends to look after a partner, friend or relative who is unable to cope without support due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction.
We’ve got grants you can benefit from to get the time out for yourself and take a well-deserved break from your caring role.
Staff can provide a listening ear for Carers who are struggling emotionally, feeling isolated or are in need of support with their caring role.
Our support groups provide Carers with a place where they can meet, receive support, information and advice, and staff support as well as time out from their caring role.
Our short training courses give Carers the chance to improve their caring skills, knowledge, and offers opportunities to learn from other Carers. The courses are based around caring for someone with a particular condition as well as providing tools for looking after the Carer’s own health and wellbeing.
