Nationwide Carer Support

As our name suggests, we support Carers in Northamptonshire we can point you in the right direction if your caring role crosses county borders. 

Strictly speaking the responsibility for providing Carers Assessments lies with the local authority where the person you care for lives, which may differ from you the Carer. Despite this, we try to maintain a common sense approach and even if we can't complete a formal assessment you are more than welcome to contact our Carers Support Line for advice & information as well as attending one of our Support Groups or Carers Cafes.

If you are unsure which Local Authority covers your area, or that of the person you care for this can be checked here. 

Carers Trust

Although we are an independent charity, we are a Network Partner of Carers Trust who work to improve support, services and recognition for the 7 million living with the challenges of caring in the UK. If you or the person you care for live outside of Northamptonshire, there may be a Network Partner in your area who could provide support. 

Recovery College

The Recovery College NHFT offer you a range of different courses to help you support yourself and others to understand health conditions and help with recovery. 

Courses are designed to support you to take control of your own wellbeing, despite any health challenges you may have. They are produced and presented by a health professional and someone who has personally experienced their own health issues. Courses are related to mental health, physical health, as well as workshops on wellbeing and opportunities to become more involved in our community.
