A carer is someone who, without payment, provides help and support to a relative, friend or neighbour who can’t manage without their help. This could be due to age, physical or mental illness, addiction or disability. Being an unpaid carer is probably one of the most rewarding things you’ll ever do but it can also be expensive, exhausting and worrying… so it’s good to know that we're an organisation here in Fife that will help you.
How we help carers
|
|
|
Carer Support
Fife Carers Centre will support adult carers in their caring role with relevant, straightforward information as well as practical help. Most importantly we will work with the carer to protect their own physical, emotional, mental and financial health whilst they maintain their caring role.
|
Building knowledge
We give information and the means to use it to carers on a wide range of topics from applying for benefits to learning more about the condition affecting the person you care for.
These could be a workshop or information session online or in person. |
Taking a breakCaring for someone can be a huge commitment and we need to take time away from it from time to time. Whether it's for an hour or so to spend a bit of time doing something for yourself or for a bit longer to really feel recharged we'll do our best to help carers figure out a way to make it happen.
