Peer to Peer Support and Isolation Event

On 24th August 2017, as part of our 20th anniversary, we worked with Worcestershire Health and Care Trust to hold a Peer to Peer Support event at Newhaven in Bromsgrove. It was a resounding success and we hope all who attended benefitted from the resources and advice.
Volunteer opportunities

COME AND JOIN OUR VOLUNTEER TEAM Can you offer the 63,000 unpaid adult carers in Worcestershire your time, skills, compassion and expertise, for a few hours a week?
Fundraise for us

As a charity we rely on the financial support of the community to be able to provide services that Worcestershire unpaid carers need. There are a number of ways in which you can support us, through fundraising events, legacies and donations
Are you a carer?

There are an estimated 63,000 unpaid adult carers in the county but only 11,000 are known to the Worcestershire Association of Carers. Many of the missing 52,000 people don’t recognise themselves as carers and this seems to be the major problem. Even if a person has a relationship with the person they help, they are still entitled to support.
Volunteer for us

Our volunteers are an integral part of the WAC team. As the first organisation in the county to achieve the gold standard "Investing in Volunteers" award we offer tailor made volunteer programmes to suit your needs.
Worcestershire Integrated Carers Hub

We have been commissioned by the Worcestershire County Council and the three Clinical Commissioning groups to provide a "one stop" carers hub for the unpaid carers of Worcestershire.
