| Recipient Org: Description | Inverclyde Carers Centres purpose is to provide a service that identifies and supports Carers to recognise and be recognised by others for their valuable contribution to society. Unpaid Carers look after relatives or friends, who could not manage alone due to illness, disability, addiction or frailty. Anyone can become a Carer. Carers come from all walks of life, all cultures and can be any age however, many people don't recognise themselves as Carers. A key actvity of our organisation is to work with partners to ensure Carers are a recognised and supported in care planning for themselves and the person that they look after. As the only organisation in Inverclyde whose principal function is to support Carers we are Inverclyde Health and Social Care Partnerships Strategic Partner in relation to Carers and coproduced Inverclyde Carers Strategy 2017-2022. We also work alongside NHS, Schools, CVS Inverclyde and Police Scotland. Since it began the centre has supported over 7000 Carers. Information, advice and services available from our centre are accessible to all Inverclyde Carers aged 16 or over and are free of charge. Examples of this include undertaking Adult Carer Support Plans, liaising with Health and Social Work services on behalf of Carers, facilitating peer support groups, providing a Carer Passport scheme, training, emotional support, counselling and relaxation therapies. As well as short breaks which may take the form of sitter service, group holidays, breaks away from the caring situation or alternative breaks which also provide respite from caring. Our team have been working remotely since 17th March 2020 and continue to provide information, support and advice to Unpaid Carers and in doing so have had the opportunity to be even more creative in how that support is delivered. Having invested in technology over the last few years this has been a reasonably seemless transition for us. We are currently focussed on three main areas of delivery: Emergency Planning so that the person being cared for can be looked after should the unpaid carer be unable to care; Telephone Befriending to help reduce social isolation for Unpaid Carers and Emergency Short Breaks to enable the Carer to have a break without leaving their home or leaving for short periods with minimal social contact. |
