| Recipient Org: Description | East Ayrshire Carers Centre provides advice, information, support, training, respite, advocacy, social & leisure activities to carers aged 5-95 years living in East Ayrshire. A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a family member or friend who struggles due to illness, disability, mental ill health, problematic substance use or addiction. We provide a holistic approach in the support we provide by supporting the whole family unit addressing individual needs by having conversations with carers completing and Adult Carers Support Plan or Young carers Statement and their families looking at the support and outcomes they require to ensure they have a life alongside their caring responsibilities. We operate out of our Centre in Kilmarnock, Cumnock and Dalmellington running 12 weekly support groups for young carers, 4 weekly support groups for adult carers across East Ayrshire which includes activities such as health and wellbeing, mindfulness, music groups, arts and crafts, photography, cooking, games and quizzes etc which provides peer support, reduces isolation, develops friendships while giving carers a break from their caring responsibilities. We also deliver an Employability Programme for young carers/people aged Carers face many barriers, challenges and concerns than ever before, with respite services being reduced- or stopped for their loved ones, feeling more isolated and struggling with their own mental health, sadly some of our young carers have expressed a real dread an years who struggle to attend school, have no direction for their future and poor or no qualifications we work with them to deliver training, volunteering or work placement opportunities. |
