carers' support
Advocare
Advocare is a small group of carers and former carers who have been working for some years to help unpaid family caregivers and enable them to have a free voice. Run by carers for carers, Advocare - Caring for Carers is an independent, not for profit organisation.
National carers' forum
An online carers message board that provides support, information, campaigns on carer and elderly related issues, and helps support carers, ex-carers and their families.
Saga Respite for Carers
This new Saga-supported Trust provides carers with holidays and will also pay, where necessary, for appropriate substitute care to ensure they can take a break to recharge their batteries. In the first year Saga expects to help more than 100 people aged 50 and over who have caring responsibilities.
