New Year: more support for you!

Someone checking their online calendar

2022 was a great year for The Carents Room with lots of positive support and recognition. 

We met some incredible carents and advocates for care & ageing and look forward to working more closely with them in the coming year. We also managed some “home improvements” with new content and new functionality including our Store Cupboard.  

The future is looking good, and we will be bringing you lots more support during 2023.

Care and health remain high on the national agenda amidst rising fuel and living costs, shortages in care services, and winter viruses putting pressure on hospital beds. 

We have new advice on staying warm at home, warm hubs, and how you can access financial support for yourself, friends and family.  

Let us know what else you would like to see – email [email protected] !! 

In the meantime, sincere thanks to everyone for all your support in 2022 and we look forward to providing more to you in 2023!

In this article, we break down the poll findings, share your stories and provide guidance to help you understand and apply for a carer’s assessment through your local council.
