Caring for someone can be rewarding, fun and a sense of achievement. It can also be challenging, lonely and frustrating. You may not know who to turn to, what help is available or just for someone to understand you. You often become resentful of the person you are caring for, blaming them for all the negative feelings you have………Believe me this is normal.

 

Caring friends was created for all carer’s to support each other. To help find friendship, companionship and support, however you want. You may just want to contact someone in similar circumstances to yourself to exchange experiences. This can often help if you are dealing with a particular illness. Maybe you are just lonely and want to email, chat with someone else who knows what you are experiencing. Or you may want to form a more serious relationship….it’s up to you.

 

There may come a time when caring stops for whatever reason and you need to move on, caring friends can help you during that transition.  

 

Caring friends is for carer’s to contact each other for whatever reason but it is here to also help and advise you.

Do you need help with financial matters, benefits, medical issues, all things that carer’s have to contend with? We invite all carer’s to share those things and anything else with us. We are sure someone will have the answer, idea or solution. Our Information Page will contain things that carer’s have sent us, together with helpful links.

 

Everyone is welcome to contact us at mail@carersfriends.co.uk at any time.

 

If you want to become a member to contact each other, you need to Join Us, fill in the application form and pay the annual membership of £7.50. On receipt of the form and payment you will get a password to access the member’s page.

 

Having lost my husband, I started this site as an ex carer who found at times things frustrating, alone and if no one really cared, not knowing who to turn to. People say they understand and know what it must be like….but sorry unless you are in this situation; you have no idea what it is like. With carers friends, you are among those who do know.

 

Carersfriends,  supporting those who care.
