  • Guideposts

    Guideposts offers free, confidential and independent information and advice, emotional support, advocacy and practical help to carers in Warwickshire.

  • Employment and finance

    Information and advice on being a carer while working.

  • Breaks for carers

    Many carers rate the opportunity to have a break from their caring role as one of the most important things to them, as it provides an opportunity to rest, take part in activities that they wouldn’t normally be able to whilst having peace of mind that the person they care for is being looked after. You can search for services in your area using our online Warwickshire directory.

  • Young carers

    Information about the young carers project.

  • Carers Week 18-24 June 2012

    Carers UK has announced that the theme for the 2012 week will be 'In sickness and in health' .
