Improving the Lives
of Family Carers in Buckinghamshire
If you are looking
after a family member or friend who needs help because they are ill, frail or
have a disability, then you are a family Carer. Being a Carer brings its own
rewards but it can also be hard work, both physically and
mentally.
Many family Carers
also face isolation, poverty, ill health and depression. Carers Bucks is a
charity that works in partnership with family Carers to support them in their
caring role by providing information, advice, advocacy and emotional support.
This website aims to provide information regarding the help and support Carers
Bucks can provide and the wider support which is available from national and
local organisations.
Carers Bucks is an
independent charity and a company limited by guarantee, established in 2004 to
support unpaid, family Carers in Buckinghamshire. Carers Bucks was formed by the
merger of the Aylesbury Vale and the South Bucks Carers Centres to create a
single point of contact for Carers in
Buckinghamshire
We are part of the
Princess Royal Trust for Carers Network, which has 141 Carers Centres around the
UK. We have offices in Aylesbury
and High
Wycombe and we manage the Carers’ Centre
in Milton Keynes.
