"What a great resource. As a carer it's quite difficult to keep up to date with what's going on outside your own little bubble. The mobilise service is really outstanding when it comes to keeping in touch with others in the same boat."

"Finding Mobilise was a Godsend. I am absolutely amazed at getting help like this. We were feeling utterly desperate as debilitating illness had descended on both of us so suddenly."

Connect with other carers
Community and support from other carers is at the heart of what we do. Connect with others who are also looking after a family member or friend in the Mobilise Hub or on our online cuppas.
Speak to someone
If we struggle to find time to talk to someone about our caring role, our friendly Carer Support Team are available seven days a week. Including the evenings and at weekends.
Simply book a free 30 minute call with another carer about the things that matter to us.
Ask our Mobilise Assistant anything?
Whether we need help with the cost of caring or incontinence, hospital discharge or respite, our Mobilise Assistant is here to give instant answers to questions on caring.
Remember, we don't have to wait until crisis for help
The earlier we ask for help, the bigger difference it can make. See the great support offered by friendly local carer organisations in Milton Keynes.
