Carol Angel

Administrator

Hi, I’m Carol.

I am the one who normally answers the phone and who you will see first when you visit us in the office. I am responsible for the administrative and financial side of the organisation. I also put together the ever increasing in size and popularity, Carers Newsletter.

Diane Barkham

Support Worker

Hello, my name is Diane and I am the Generic Support Worker. My role is to support carers of people with any Physical or Medical condition, any Dementia/Short Term Memory Loss problems and Parent Carers. I have a background in Nursing and have been a relative carer myself. I run Support/Social Groups and organize outings where you will see me most of the time. I am here to help in any way I can to make life a little brighter by providing advice, information and emotional support by phone or home visit.

Leonie Clark

Development Worker

I have a background in nursing and health visiting. For Kennet Carers I run the parent carer support group in Devizes and attend appropriate planning meetings in order to make sure carers are not forgotten. This is a particular interest of mine having seen my son with ‘special educational needs’ through the education system. I run our growing band of volunteers and provide any training they may need and offer assistance to our former carers in adapting to their new circumstances. My role could be called ‘development worker’ as I look to find new and effective ways to support carers – any ideas from carers are always welcome!
