Carers Space Notts - CSN

Helping unpaid carers across Nottinghamshire access support, stay informed, and have their voices heard.

This group is open to all unpaid/family carers who care for someone living in the wider county of Nottinghamshire, not including Nottingham City at this time

Could your experience help someone realise they’re a carer?

We’re currently looking for carers to help shape a series of short videos about what caring can look like in real life.

Many people who support a family member or friend do not recognise themselves as carers at first. By sharing real experiences, we hope to help more people identify themselves earlier and become aware of support that may be available.

People can contribute in whichever way feels most comfortable for them, including:
• informal conversations, face-to-face or online
• written contributions via email
• short self-recorded video or audio clips

There’s no expectation for anything to feel polished or professional.

If you’d like to know more, or would simply like an informal chat, please get in touch:

📧 [email protected]
📱 Call or Text: 07966 391612

Please feel free to share with anyone who may be interested.
