Carers of all ages - help Durham County Carers Support shape the Darlington Carers Strategy

News - 17 January 2023

A new Carers strategy to is be developed. To do this, Durham County Carers Support are asking unpaid carers for their help.

If you're an unpaid carer, they want to know what works for you/the person you care for and what doesn't. The valuable feedback will be used to produce a plan for the future around support for unpaid family Carers. It will be called Darlington’s Commitment to Carers 2023 - 2027.

To gather the views of unpaid carers they've produced an anonymous survey to gain a better overview and overall picture of what's good and bad about the support currently available.
