Carers Supporting Carers

More than six million people in the UK are looking after relatives or friends - unpaid. It's been estimated they save the country £119 billion a year. Caring can be a rewarding experience but it can also bring emotional challenges.

Now national volunteering charity TimeBank has joined forces with Carers UK to launch a new mentoring project to support carers.

The Carers Together project will recruit and train volunteers to offer face-to-face mentoring to carers in the Birmingham area and confidential e-mentoring to carers throughout England.

TimeBank wants to hear from volunteers for the project who are carers themselves, or have caring experience, so they can draw on the experiences and techniques that have helped them in the past. No special skills are needed – just time, patience and commitment.

If you are interested in volunteering, take a look at www.timebank.org.uk/carers-together, email carers@timebank.org.uk or phone 0121 236 2531
