The Carers’ Resource is an independent charity, with a board of trustees and around 50 employees and 50 volunteers. Our work is recognised nationally, regionally and locally.
A Carer is someone who, without payment, provides help and support to a friend, neighbour or relative who could not manage otherwise because of frailty, illness or disability. They may even be juggling paid work with caring responsibilities at home. Carers have a tough job – it can mean unrelenting pressure, little chance to relax and a lot of worry. The system is complicated, and the issue is hidden.
Carers' Resource provides support for carers, no matter what their age, race, religion or needs. Follow the links on their website to discover what support they can offer you as a carer, or as someone who might work with carers.
Carer's Resource delivers services in Bradford, Craven, Harrogate and Selby Districts.
