What support can I get?

You may face new challenges daily as a carer, but you don’t need to do this alone. Carers Oxfordshire supports you – valuable people in our society to feel less lonely and more able to cope. We help by providing specialist support from a team who genuinely cares about your well-being.

You are doing something incredible but might never hear a thank you or reassurance that you are doing well. We want you to know that you are doing a great and vital job which doesn’t go unnoticed by us.

The support we provide is different for each person because we understand that no two caring situations are the same. Whatever your situation we will help you to tackle the things you feel are difficult and find solutions that can make caring easier.
