The new Worcestershire Integrated Carers Hub supported by Worcestershire County Council and the three Clinical Commissioning Groups launched on 1^st July. The Hub supports unpaid adult carers across the County and builds on Worcestershire Association of Carers current provision, by providing a one stop shop for carers. 

The services that we provide include:

• Carer Pathway Advisors:  They provide information, advice and support by telephone and in drop in information points across the county.

• Health and Social Care Engagement and Community & Partnerships: The two teams work closely with partner organisations to raise awareness of the needs of carers, help us reach more carers and improve carer’s access to Hub services.

• Carer training:   Adult carers can access information, advice, support and training, tailored to their individual needs all in one place.

• Listening Ear:  A telephone befriending service which supports those who are caring for someone close to the end of their life.

• Carer Talktime:  Regular telephone contact with one of our trained volunteers to reduce the isolation that carers can experience.

• Carer Groups: These support groups are held once a month throughout the county, run by carers but supported by WAC.
