Are you looking after or providing support for a relative friend or neighbour? Are you being helped or supported by a relative friend or neighbour?
Your GP needs to know so you can be offered the right information, support and access to services. GP surgeries have to compile information for the government about the numbers of carers attached to the surgery so your information will help them to do this.
End of life support – Northamptonshire Carers provides end of life support by offering a safe, understanding space to talk and be heard. Carers can access one-to-one support over the phone, join group sessions with other carers, or attend our dedicated group at Cynthia Spencer Hospice for those caring for someone nearing the end of life. We also have new group’s starting for Carer’s supporting their loved ones diagnosed with cancer at the new Maggie’s centre in Northampton.

Newly Bereaved/Former Carers support –
Our work with Former Carers is guided by the views of those we support. We will offer individual telephone support, signposting to appropriate services, group support and information sessions aimed at reducing social isolation and encouraging and developing peer support.
