Staffordshire Together for Carers Service

Are You A Carer?

Do you look after a family member or friend who couldn’t manage without your support? Perhaps they have a long-term illness, disability, mental health condition, or issues related to ageing.

Whether you provide care for a few hours a week or around the clock, your role is invaluable. But who’s looking after you?

Are You A Young Carer?

You might be looking after a parent, sibling, or relative who needs extra support. If you help at home in ways others your age don’t, you’re not alone – we’re here for you.

If you support someone living in Staffordshire or registered with a GP in Staffordshire, Staffordshire Together for Carers service, and our dedicated service for young carers, is here for you.

How can we support you?

We’re here to support you in your caring role for as long as you choose, while helping to protect your health and well-being. We understand that being a carer can be both rewarding and challenging. Our team offers expert information, guidance, and a wide range of personalised support to make life a little easier.

We take the time to listen, understand your needs, and create a tailored support plan just for you because every carer’s journey is unique.

    Meet others your age who understand what it’s like to be a young carer. Make new friends, share experiences, and build new skills together.
  • Take a break
    Join in fun group and activities, relax, and have some time just for you.
  • Emergency planning
    Prepare a plan for who would support the person you care for if you couldn’t due to an emergency.
  • Young Carers’ Voice
    We’ll help you speak up about what matters to you and the support you need, and we’ll listen to your ideas about how we can support you and other young carers.

Statutory carer’s assessments

In Staffordshire, these are carried out by Staffordshire County Council. They can also help you explore the support available to help you continue in your caring role.

To arrange a Carer’s Assessment, please contact the Council by phone on 0300 111 8010 or email firstcontactcarers@staffordshire.gov.uk.

Carer Awareness For Professionals

We work with professionals and organisations across Staffordshire to raise awareness of unpaid carers, helping to identify and support more people in caring roles.

Our flexible, tailored approach is designed to suit your time, setting, and professional needs. Support can include:

  • Carer Awareness Briefings
  • Carer Awareness Training
  • Carer Champion Training
  • Guidance for organisations and groups working towards our Carer Friendly Mark

If you’re a professional and would like to learn more or get involved, please get in touch.

Who Is A Carer?

A carer is someone who provides unpaid support to a loved one who would struggle without them. This could be helping with everyday tasks, providing emotional support, or managing medication and appointments.

Many carers don’t even realise they are carers – they just see it as ‘helping out’ or ‘doing what family does.’ But your role is important, and you deserve support too.

  • Thanks SO much for your help today, and for the sympathetic ear. Just what I needed!
    Carer
  • Aww you’re a diamond Debbie, thank you very much for all your help
    Carer
  • It has been great to come out together, get out of the house and meet other people and other carers. We need to get out more often together.
    Carer
  • First session attended – lovely to meet and talk to others in the same situation.
    Carer
  • When you first start caring, you’re lost, no one tells you what to do, where to go or whether you’re doing it right or wrong. But when I got in touch with yourselves everything started coming together, the support given helped me make sense of everything and pointed me in the right direction. Suddenly I wasn’t alone, and I knew exactly where I could turn to when I needed more help.
    Carer
  • I just wanted to say thanks ever so much for the call that day. It’s the first time someone’s asked how I am in a very long time, it certainly made a difference to my day, I didn’t really know how to answer it to be honest. I don’t get to speak to many people so that was a very welcome phone call. Just wanted to tell you that you brightened someone’s day that day and you do make a difference. Thanks again.
    Carer
  • I love these sessions with you, they make me feel good and happy. They are really fun.
    Young carer
  • She is really enjoying herself at groups, it is doing her the world of good to get that break away from home and make new friends. We are so so grateful for everything you do for her and what you offer is phenomenal, so thank you
    Parent of young carer
  • Thanks for helping me. Your help matters to me. The people running that group we went to noticed how much I liked you and trusted you. Makes all the difference to have someone to speak to.
    Carer
  • Great. We really enjoyed it. Great fun. Thank you so much.
