About the project
The ‘Connecting Carers in the Community’ project, funded from 2023, focuses on working more closely with carers, volunteers and partners to create and develop new opportunities to connect with each other. NEWCIS wants to actively put co-production into practice, demonstrating what positive outcomes can be achieved by embedding carers and volunteers more heavily into the development of the service.
What does this mean in practice?
- Providing holistic assessments to better understand needs ensuring carers are more informed and better connected, particularly new carers.
- Providing carer breaks that offer a chance to re-connect and reduce isolation.
- Creating new opportunities to increase resilience through co-production working in particular with volunteers, young carers and parent carers.
- Widen the scope of friendships by connecting carers locally, nationally and internationally.
