Everyone is welcome to join, whether you have been, are a carer, or are looking for friendship and support at this challenging time.
If you would like to join please contact us by email: carers@ageukdacorum.org.uk or call 01442 259049 (leave a message on the answerphone and someone will call you back).
If you spend time caring for someone and feel tired, worried, alone or frustrated and in need of some friendly, non-judgemental, practical and emotional support then Age UK Dacorum is here to help.
We can:
• Provide accurate information and guidance on a range of issues from sitting services and respite care to Adult Care Service assessments for you and the person you care for.
• Help you to secure your financial entitlements.
• Inform you about the services available to help carers and how to access them.
• Provide information about leisure and social activities.
• Provide regular emotional support phone calls.
