CALDERDALE CARERS PROJECT

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: Stephen Barker, Iris O’Donnell, Roy Conway, Sue Pears, Margaret Williamson, Pat Reynolds, Christopher Ide, Sheila Riddle, John Kiddle and Tracy Thornton.
