Care support service for carers of any age is available via Westmorland and Furness Council

Sometimes carers can find it challenging to take care of their own wellbeing whilst looking after someone. The impact that caring can have on all aspects of life should not be underestimated.

If you need to access support, the Carer Support Service provides a single point of access for carers of all ages, including young carers (5–18) and adult carers (18+) who care for someone of any age living in Westmorland and Furness.

The new contact details are:
T: 01539 457525
E: [email protected]
W: www.wfcarers.org.uk

The service is here to ensure carers can have an assessment of their needs (a carers assessment), access information, advice, guidance and a wide range of support.

You can refer yourself to Westmorland and Furness Carer Support Service or you can ask a relative or professional (such as a GP) to contact them on your behalf.
