A new service to help those caring for people across Dorset launched on Thursday 21 November, 2019, Carers Rights Day. Carer Support Dorset has been established to give information, advice and support to all age, unpaid carers across the county where the person cared for is over 18. In response to feedback from carers over the last few years, Carer Support Dorset will be a central point of contact, whether by phone or through the website. Carer Support Dorset will be able to signpost or refer onto a wide range of existing support available for carers. This could include issuing a carers discount card, local carers’ cafes, funding streams and referring to funded services from the local authority through a carers assessment. Based out of Ferndown, Carer Support Dorset covers the whole of Dorset and offer a Freephone number (0800 368 8349) with a friendly team at the end of the line ready to support you, as well as extensive information on the website www.carersupportdorset.co.uk. Judy Walker, Chief Executive, Carer Support Dorset adds: “Carers play an extremely important role and often don’t receive the recognition or support that they deserve. We are delighted to be launching Carer Support Dorset and are looking forward to working with carers, charities and other organisations which promote better support for carers. We’d urge carers to get in touch with our service from 21 November onwards.” If you think that you are a carer, contact Carer Support Dorset from 21 November on 0800 368 8349 or visit www.carersupportdorset.co.uk to find out more. Interviews Interviews are available upon request. Please contact emmak@carersupportdorset.co.uk to arrange. About Carer Support Dorset Support Dorset’s aim is to create carer friendly communities where carers are recognised, valued and supported. Carer Support Dorset is commissioned by Dorset Council and Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group. About Carers Rights Day Carers Rights Day takes place on 21 November with the aim of ensuring carers are aware of their rights, letting carers know where to get help and support and to raise awareness of the needs of carers. On Carers Rights Day hundreds of organisations across the UK hold an event or activity for Carers Rights Day to help people in their community find out about their rights as a carer, and where to go for support.
