Support for unpaid carers in Solihull
If you look after someone regularly, perhaps a parent, partner, child, sibling, or neighbour or friend, we're here to support you in your caring role.
We work with Solihull Council to provide a range of free online services to support you, in addition to what is already on offer.
Kick-start with our Email Course
To kick-start your support from us, sign-up to our five-part email course, designed specifically to help carers like you in Solihull.
Establish strong foundations to your care or double-check you have the essentials in place.
Connect with other carers
Community and support from other carers is at the heart of what we do. Connect with carers through our online Mobilise Community and meet other carers on our virtual cuppas.
Speak to someone
If you struggle to find time to talk to someone about your caring role, our Carer Support Team are available from 8am to 10pm, seven-days a week.
You'll speak with another carer about the things that matter to you.
