What We Do
Am I a Carer?
A Carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot manage without their support.
The types of support that Carers provide is incredibly varied and dependent on the unique needs of the person that they care for. Caring can involve help with daily tasks such as getting out of bed and personal care such as bathing, supporting to attend appointments, and shopping. Equally, it can involve providing emotional support and or supervision through helping someone cope with their health condition.
The varied nature of being a Carer means that the challenges that Carers face take many different forms. Large numbers of Carers have to try and balance their caring responsibilities with work, study, and any other family commitments. Some Carer groups may be more difficult to identify or are seldom heard and often hidden, for example Young Carers or Carers of those with addictions.
Adult Care support
We have a dedicated team that offer Information Advice and Guidance to adult carers. If you are providing unpaid care to anyone over the age of 18 years old, then we are here to help you.
Once you register with us one of our team will be in touch to discuss your needs as a carer and work with you to ensure you have the right information at the right time.
We can then talk about what might make your life easier and how you can get more help, or if you prefer, we can arrange a time and place where we can meet up and talk about what your needs are.
We can also support you if you are considering moving a loved one into care, we understand this can be a challenging time.
Remember… you’re not on your own and we will do everything we can to help you.
Join us on our Hartlepool Carers Discussion Group once you have registered
Support for Young Carers
Carers from ages 5 to 18 are known as young carers and often take on practical and/or emotional caring responsibilities that would normally be expected of an adult.
The tasks undertaken can vary according to the nature of the illness or disability, the level, and frequency of need for care and the structure of the family as a whole.
We will arrange a time and place where we can meet up and talk about what is important to you.
We are here to offer advice, support, and information for you and your family. We also deliver Young Carer specific activities and events so you can meet other young carers in Hartlepool.
Join us on our Hartlepool Young Carers Group once you have registered.
Carers moving on from their Caring Role
We all experience loss at some point in our lives, but for carers this can be even more challenging.
Carers dedicate much of their lives to look after loved ones and when a carer experiences bereavement they can feel even more isolated and alone. At Hartlepool Carers we have a dedicated support group for carers experiencing loss and bereavement. The group meet regularly to have coffee and cake, lunches and meet others who are experiencing similar situations. Please get in touch with us to find out more.
Support for Parent Carers
We want to ensure all families have the right support at the right time
Hartlepool Carers provide support to families whose child has an additional need and/or disability aged 0-25 years old.
We can provide Information, Advice and Guidance to support you and your family as well as offer activities and events.
We work alongside 1 Hart, 1 Mind, 1 Future, Hartlepool’s Parent Led Forum were we joint fund our Parent Carer Link Worker.
