Thank you for becoming a part of Carers Voice.
Our mission at Carers Voice, is to improve the health and wellbeing of all Carers. Through partnership working, we ensure the voice of Carers is heard and listened to, meaning support and services are designed and delivered to reflect Carers’ needs and interests. Everything we do starts with Carers. Carers experiences, insights and feedback shape every aspect of our work. We welcome current Carers and past Carers as both have valuable lived experience of caring.
- You will receive a monthly newsletter via email full of information for Carers
- Have your voice heard! You will receive opportunities to become involved and share your feedback to improve support and influence change.
- You would be very welcome at our Carer Wellness & Information Sessions. The sessions are an opportunity for Carers to come together with other Carers in an informal and safe online setting, to share experiences and feedback (if you wish to), gain information about support and acitivities in Norfolk & Waveney and benefit from a FREE Wellness session. All sessions have a friendly atmosphere and take place on Zoom. You can join and leave at any time throughout the session and are free to attend just to listen. Carers Voice ensures attendees are respectful, are able to have their say and have their voice heard and listened to. The sessions take place monthly on a Monday between 10.30am and 12pm. If you would like to join future meetings please click the button below or email info@carersvoice.org.
