As well as a telephone helpline, it provides information about statutory and voluntary services, help with information about benefits, a quarterly newsletter, listening support, a confidential counselling service, carers’ support groups, practical help such as form filling, social activities, an email helpline and help with planning for an emergency.

Carers can make appointments to see an adviser and home visits can also be made.
