Support for Carers

Kinship carers who step in to care for children often do so out of love, but sometimes this happens without the preparation, support, or resources that they should have. Self-care can strengthen protective factors such as resilience.

Peer support is valuable as it offers a safe space and allows you to share experiences with those who have been part of a similar journey.

Telford Crisis Support offers a range of multi-bank services to support families facing financial hardship such as school unfiform and food.

Telford and Wrekin Interfaith Council build and maintain conversation and co-operation between all Faith and Cultural Groups. They host a range of community events and can support with emergency food outside of regular food bank hours.

Telford and Wrekin CVS work in partnership to support people and strengthen communities. They offer an adult carers centre, autism hub, a wellbeing community café and much more.

Live Well Telford and the Community Health & Wellbeing Hubs can help with your questions about health, wellbeing, and care needs. Each hub brings together a wide range of services under one roof, offering a “one-stop shop” approach to health and wellbeing.
