Story

Who are Swindon Carers Centre?

Swindon Carers Centre is a charitable organisation, which is part of the Carers Trust Network, established to provide help and support to unpaid carers in Swindon.


A carer is anyone who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help due to an illness, frailty, disability, a mental health condition or an addiction, and cannot cope without them.


Swindon Carers Centre aims to improve the wellbeing of people with caring responsibilities in and around Swindon. Being a carer can bring many positives, but it is a role which can become overwhelming and difficult at times.

 
By registering with Swindon Carers Centre, carers gain access to a dedicated team of professional and trained volunteers able to fully assist them in their caring role.

The mission of Swindon Carers Centre (SCC) is to improve the well-being of people with caring responsibilities in and around Swindon, creating a community where carers are recognised, valued and supported. It is part of the Carers Trust Network, and was established to provide help and support to the 21,000 carers in Swindon. SCC has a team of professionals and trained volunteers, who provide a wide range of support and services to carers of all ages: • Assessing carers’ needs on an individual basis and draw up support plans to reduce the impact of caring on their lives. This includes young carers aged between 5 and 18 • Providing breaks – a few hours of respite for carers and families • Running a range of self-help groups for carers, giving them the opportunity to meet with other carers and share information and advice • Working in partnership with schools to support young carers to fulfill their potential • Offering training courses to groups of carers based on their needs • Delivering an Emergency Card scheme to offer carers peace of mind • Running a Welfare and Benefits Advice service to support carers (and the people they care for) who are facing financial difficulties and may be eligible for welfare benefits but are not claiming them. Benefits Advisors assess carers’ eligibility for benefits based on their individual circumstances and needs.
