Citizens Advice Bureau

The Citizens Advice Bureau is running an unpaid carers project to provide better support for those of us living in Stirling or Clackmannanshire council areas. The aim of the project is to support unpaid carers, to ensure that we have the financial means
and relevant support to carry out our essential role.

The project will also support our cared for person, as it is proven that offering the same level of support to the cared for person benefits the carer.
