Falkirk & Clackmannanshire Carers Centre We provide information and support to carers of all ages living in Falkirk and Clackmannanshire.

The Carers Centre provides information and support to carers of all ages living in Falkirk district and Clackmannanshire. The centre is managed by a Board elected from the membership of Central Carers Association, a voluntary organisation comprising carers and those with an interest in carers’ issues. The organisation seeks to ensure that carers of all ages in Falkirk district and Clackmannanshire are recognised, valued, receive the information and support they need to allow them to care with confidence and in good health, and are empowered to have a life of their own outside caring. Information and support is provided by our team of workers who are based in the Carers Centre in Falkirk, Forth Valley Royal Hospital, Falkirk Community Hospital and Clackmannanshire Community Healthcare Centre. The work of the Carers Centre is also supported by a range of volunteering opportunities.

💬 Communication is so much more than words… and every child deserves to be understood. 💜

Whether your child uses words, sounds, gestures, visuals or communicates in their own unique way, understanding how they communicate can make a world of difference.

💙 This Wednesday, we're welcoming NHS Forth Valley Speech & Language Therapy to ASN Play Pals for a FREE Parent & Carer Information Session!

And this isn't just for families who are new to speech and language therapy!

Whether your child already receives support through school or nursery, you're waiting for an assessment, or you'd simply like to learn more about communication, this session could be really valuable.

✨ Why come along?

💜 Gain a better understanding of speech, language and communication needs.

💙 Learn more about the many different ways children communicate.

💜 Explore how understanding your child's communication can help you support them in everyday life.

💙 Hear directly from NHS Speech & Language Therapy professionals and have the opportunity to ask questions.

Even if your child already receives SLT support, understanding more about communication and how to support it at home can be incredibly beneficial.

And you don't need to have specific questions prepared. Sometimes simply listening, learning and sharing experiences with other parents and carers can make all the difference.

📅 Wednesday 28th October
🕥 10:30am – 12:30pm
📍 The Tryst Centre, Stenhousemuir
🎟️ FREE to attend

☕ Tea, coffee, biscuits and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

At ASN Play Pals, we believe that helping families feel informed, supported and understood is just as important as creating opportunities for our children to play. 💜

✨ Everyone is welcome, wherever you are on your journey.

Unpaid carers play a vital role in supporting patients after hospital discharge, yet many are unaware of their rights or the support available to them.

Our Information Session for Professionals will help NHS staff better understand the role of carers, identify hidden caring responsibilities, and support carers to access help when they need it because supporting the patient often means supporting the carer too!
