Carers in Hertfordshire

Who are Carers in Hertfordshire?

Carers in Hertfordshire was set up in 1995. We aim to provide quality services to all carers throughout Hertfordshire in accordance with our Equal Opportunities policy. The organisation is governed by trustees, most of whom are carers themselves.

How can we help?

  • We can tell you about your rights as a carer
  • We can spend time helping you plan the support you need by problem solving and telling you about local services and specialist organisations which may support you.
  • We can tell you about ways you can look after your own health, meet other carers and add your voice to theirs to influence provision of services

Contact us if you are new to caring or have been a carer for many years; if you live with the person you care for or they live elsewhere.
