Often carers don’t recognise themselves as being a carer and they might need someone else to point it out for them -
this could be you!
Carers are usually just getting on with things, doing what needs to be done and don't always know help is at hand.
If this sounds like you or someone you know Fife Carers Centre can offer practical help and support.

How can we help you?Keeping up to date with what we have going
on: You can find out more about what we’re up to by following us on Twitter and Facebook and check out our newsletter here or ask to have one posted out to you three times a year. We aim to be a “one stop shop” for every carer in Fife – if you are a carer we can help you with:
General Information We can help guide you with lots of information about everything from your entitlement to benefits, why it's so important to have Power of Attorney to information about the condition affecting the person you care for. Information about benefits and entitlements We help with getting the right ones for you and the person you care for as well as looking for grants that might be available for helping support your caring role. Workshops and Information Sessions We run free to attend information sessions throughout the year to help carers learn more about the condition affecting the person they care for or some other aspect of their role of carer. Carers Support Planning we help you complete a Carers Support Plan to identify the ways your caring role has impacted on your life and what you would like to do to about it – then we'll continue to work alongside you helping you to achieve your goals. Centre Drop In During Centre opening hours carers can drop in for information and a chat. Emotional Support Carers can find themselves feeling that they have no one to talk to about their worries or how they are feeling. One of the most valued services we provide is that of giving carers the chance to talk openly and honestly about how you feel about your caring role and the things you are finding difficult - we listen to anything you have to say without judgement. Peer support. Being with other carers often means you don’t have to explain how things are for you, you can talk openly and you can hear how others have dealt with similar situations. In addition you can have some social contact and relax amongst friends. There are a few groups that offer this kind of support and these ones listed are those we are involved in. |
