Carers Card 18+ - Support and advice

If you are a carer you can now benefit from a Carer Card. It is a card which officially identifies you as a carer and that should be carried by you at all times.

The card has 2 main purposes -

1. To notify emergency services that someone you are responsible for needs support, should something happen to you
2. To get you access to local health and wellbeing services, as well as with selected local shops and businesses at reduced prices

To get a Carer Card, contact CISS. They will organise an appointment for an assessment and talk to you about other services you could benefit from.
