Calderdale Carers Project - the aims
The main aims of the project are to raise awareness about carers and their needs and to provide a contact point for advice and information.
The project facilitates carers support groups, administers an emergency card, also produces a quarterly newsletter and has a wide range of information leaflets for any carers to access. We have a specific fund to pay for and arrange transport and sitters to enable carers to attend events the project organises.Trustees of the project are: Laura Beesley, Stephen Barker, Lesley Crawshaw , Roy Conway and Iris O'Donnell.
