WHAT YOU CAN FIND IN THE CENTRE
The Carers' Centre Hull is a charity dedicated to supporting carers, i.e a person who looks after another adult or child with a chronic long-term illness or disability. The disability may be mental or physical or both.
Since 1999 we have supported over 6,600 carers and those they care for.
The Centre offers:
- An accessible and reliable information point for cares on all issues around caring.
- A safe environment where carers can meet and relax to overcome problems of isolation.
- A place where former carers can relax and receive advice and information after a change in their care situation or passing of a person they have cared for.
We also offer OASIS, a service which enables carers to leave the person they care for at the centre for a few hours.
So that carers can gather together to air their views, we also hold a ‘Carers' Forum' several times a year.
Working together with carers, we gather and store information on service problems and ways to help so that others in similar positions can be advised on ways to cope. We can also pass on compliments to workers who are doing a great job and should be praised on that.
Outreach Survey
The Centre has been developing its Outreach Service over the last year and we would like to ask you to complete a simple survey on the Outreach Service, even if you have never used it.
The service has held drop-in support sessions in a number of health centres around Hull enabling carers to pop-in to gain information and support on a number of carer related issues.
This survey will take less than 5 minutes to complete and no personal information will be asked of you.
The survey can be found by visiting the following link. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/T8C756K
We appreciate your participation and any information you provide is strictly confidential.
Further details on the Centre's Outreeach Service can be found from here.
