Charitable Chorus

Carers in Hertfordshire provides free support for children and adults who look after someone close to them with a disability, illness, addiction, or the elderly. The charity supports unpaid carers in Hertfordshire or from elsewhere and caring for someone in the county, and bereaved carers.

 

They provide information, advice, well-being support, and leisure and learning activities, and provide respite from a caring role. It also offers opportunities for carers to connect with each other and services, and to have their voices heard to shape better health and social care services.

With over 100,000 carers in Hertfordshire (and many more people who don’t recognise themselves as carers), we ensure current and former carers don’t feel alone. Together, we can make sure carers are identified, informed, supported and heard.
