Advocare cares for carers

If you are or have been caring for someone who is frail, sick or disabled you are important to us: Advocare could be important for you.

We are a group of former carers based in Poole who use their own caring experiences to help fellow-carers who may be experiencing difficulties in their caregiving role. On the following pages you can find out how we can help you with some of your concerns.

We would like to hear from you if, for example:

• You feel worn down as a carer or former carer;
• You would like an opportunity to meet and make friends with people who have had similar experiences to your own;
• You have any burning issues about caring;
• You have difficulty using public transport services;
• You get stressed when taking a loved one to out-patients;
• You are a carer who would like to help fellow-carers;
• You are a former carer who would like to help others;
• You think a sea-change is needed for carers to improve their 'lot';
• You are concerned that your loved one may be at risk.

Please contact Cathey on (01202) 737592 for more information.
