The project will support family carers who find it difficult to be away from home due to caring responsibilities. The volunteer led Befriending Scheme will be set up to provide emotional support to carers, providing them with information, advice and advocacy and signposting those with complex needs to other service providers. Sixty more carers a year will be able to access individual support and a forum will be set up to find hidden carers and to promote the needs of carers and the people they care for.
