Sorry, we are currently constructing a new website.

A new look is coming!

As you may have heard, our services are undergoing some big changes as we develop a 'rights-based" approach to carer support.

This means we will be using legislation to ensure health and social care services are compliant with the law relating to unpaid carers and the person they are caring for. We will be supporting carers on an individual and group basis. We will deliver training so that carers know their legal rights and are confident to challenge health and social care decisions affecting them and the person they care for.

We believe this approach will change the lives of thousands of people providing unpaid care in Gateshead.

We look forward to unveiling more news and a new look for our website in early October - watch this space!
