Who are Durham & Chester-le-Street Carers Support - What do we do?

To support the needs of Carers/Parents in the districts of Durham & Chester-le-Street an independent charitable organisation has been developed.

The delivery of our service is based totally on the needs of the Carers and Parents we support. To ensure that this ethos is sustained, the board of trustees that over sees our organisation has a membership of which the majority are Carers/Parents.

Funding has been received from a range of different sources which includes Durham County Council, Durham & Chester-le-Street NHS Primary Care Trust and the Big Lottery.

The service is available to Carers, Ex-carers and those working with Carers in the district of Durham & Chester-le-Street.

Durham & Chester-le-Street Carers Support offer a range of services that are free and totally confidential.

Our Vision and Philosophy

Many parents, sons or daughters, partners, friends and neighbours support people at home to maintain their quality of life. Durham & Chester-le-Street Carers Support recognise and works to raise awareness of the importance of that role to the community. Durham & Chester-le-Street Carers Support offers a range of support, advice and information together with a listening ear to people (Carers) undertaking that role.
