Publications
Publications produced by the Centre are as follows
Newsletter
Our free Newsletter is designed to make Carers aware of services available, events and drop-ins taking place. It provides Carers with the opportunity to share experiences but also keeps them informed of national issues affecting their caring role.
Our Centre newsletter is published 3 times per year. The current edition was published in January and the next edition will be April 2010. We welcome contributions from Carers, professionals and other local voluntary groups to be submitted at least one month before these dates.
Contact the Centre on 01606 828151 (Dawn on Ext 5) if you would like to include something in the next edition. .
Carers can contact our Helpline on 0800 085 0307 for a copy of the latest newsletter and/or have their details added to the mailing-list.

Carers can request a set of Factsheets from the Centre by calling the Helpline on 0800 085 0307 or you can download your own set here. Some Factsheets refer to other sheets so its advisable to download the set as a whole.
