Angus Carers Centre (360G-SCVO-a133z00000KnAE5AAN)

We are requesting funding to update our current website and to develop additional pages with Mental Health and wellbeing information, podcasts, and videos for adult and young carers. This will involve the addition of a dedicated Mental Health and Wellbeing tab, which will be split into 3 separate pages covering adult carers, young carers (Age 16 & 17) and young adult carers (Age 18 – 25). This addition to the website will provide accessible information, advice, and support for the community. Each page will incorporate feedback we have received from carers, and we envisage posting videos of our current Zoom relaxation sessions and self-care sessions. By posting this information on our website it provides carers with the opportunity to dip in and out of the sessions. We know that being a carer can be very demanding on their time and even just a quick 5 minutes with relaxation techniques provided by ourselves may make a difference to their day to day caring role. These separate pages will promote recorded bite sized wellbeing sessions, podcasts, relaxation sessions and cover topics such as hope, resilience, self-compassion, self-care, anger management, relaxation, health & wellbeing, palliative care, suicide prevention and domestic violence, with links to other agencies who can help in addition to ourselves. We are also aiming to introduce a staff health and wellbeing section.This funding would enable us to develop mental health and wellbeing information, podcasts, videos, and workshops that will enable people to take control of their own health and wellbeing, hopefully resulting in them being able to remain in good mental and physical health for longer periods of time. We envisage that this easily accessible and up-to-date information and support will also enable carers to feel more confident in their caring role and may even help support the person they care for with their mental health and wellbeing as well.
