Funding was secured from the Princess Royal Trust for Carers and Renfrewshire Council to fund the Centre which was seen <\/span><span style=\"color: #2f2d76;\">as a one stop shop for Carers.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #2f2d76;\">The Centre started with 2 members of staff and has grown to 81 staff and over 30 volunteers today and developed to provide a range of services including: information &amp; advice, advocacy, peer support groups, counselling, training, short breaks, care at home, young carers support, adult support team, emergency plans, ethnic minority support, Self-Directed Support, carers discount card, empowering carers voices and now the new emerging digital age.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #2f2d76;\">Working in partnership has been key to the Centre\u2019s success and getting involved in the local community. We work closely with local services, voluntary organisations, community groups and statutory partners sharing the one purpose to improve lives of carers and the people they care for. We cannot support carers in isolation, and it is only by working together \u2013 a joined-up approach that we can make Renfrewshire \u2018Carer Friendly\u2019 and<\/span><span style=\"color:
