Complete A-Z for Carers 2024

Who is this A–Z Guide for?
This guide is for informal/unpaid carers living in Northern Ireland. You are a carer if you provide help and support, without payment, to a family member or a friend who may not be able to manage without this help because of frailty, illness, or disability.

What is in this Guide?
This guide tells you where you can access information, support, and services relevant to carers. It directs you to the organisations best placed to meet your needs, and gives you contact details for these organisations. The guide is mainly regional in context – for more local information, you are advised to contact your HSC Trust for details.

So, Summer has come and gone, in the blink of an eye! Back to school and we hope we have been able to reflect just some of the support and opportunities available for children, young people and their parents/carers.

Our Locality Planning Groups have resumed meeting this morning (5th September) in Armagh and will operate at full speed throughout the rest of the year. We welcome anyone working or volunteering to improve outcomes for children & young people and we’ll be delighted to tell you more, if you are interested.  Dates for the next meetings are on the second last page, as always.

 See you later in September!
