We are a local charity with over 20 years experience providing support for vulnerable people and their carers. We know how important it is to ensure that the care provider you choose understands your individual needs and is able to provide personalised support of the highest quality.

Our service is able to deliver packages of care which are focused on your individual needs and designed to

• improve quality of life,
• support people to live independently at home,
• enable carers to benefit from a regular, meaningful break.

Our care services are usually provided within the home. However, depending upon personal circumstances, we can also assist service users to spend some time away from the house to enjoy activities within their local community.

As a charity, we are committed to using the proceeds from our fundraising efforts and donations to provide free respite care. Where this is not possible, you can purchase respite care hours.

You can also purchase the following services from us …

• Help with daily living activities, ie bathing, dressing feeding, continence care,
• Support an individual getting up in the morning or going to bed at night,
• Provide companionship at home
• Accompany an individual to social/leisure activities, hospital appointments, shopping, etc

You may pay for these services from your own resources, or from public funds including Direct Payments, Independent Living Fund or Self Directed Support.
