Our team of Development Workers are on hand to support you with any issues that you may have relating to your caring role.

We use a number of venues within your local community where you can meet to speak to them face to face; or if you prefer you can contact them by telephone or by calling into our office at Queen Street. All queries are dealt with in the strictest of confidence.

The Carers' Advocacy Service is being provided as a pilot project through funding from the Local Authority.  The aim of the pilot is to provide independent advocacy for carers to empower them to have a stonger voice in all aspects of their lives.  This service is available to all carers in Redcar & Cleveland.  Glenda also manages the development worker team.
