Carers Count is a not for profit organisation that supports unpaid carers within
Kirklees. We are managed by and operate under the Cloverleaf Advocacy umbrella
and work closely with a wide range of professional health and care services,
Kirklees Council, charities and community groups to provide support for unpaid
carers. Carers Count works with carers who are aged 18 and over and give their
time to someone with a physical disability, long-term illness, an older person,
a child with additional needs, a learning disability and/or a mental health
issue (including dementia). We are also able to provide assistance to someone
even after they cease caring for whatever reason. Our dedicated team is on hand
to offer advice, information, advocacy, support groups and activities for unpaid
carers across Kirklees. We are experts in our fields and cover everything
related to an unpaid carers role from benefits advice, raising awareness for
carers, meditation sessions and wellbeing support, to understanding your rights
as a carer. Everyone in the Carers Count team is hugely committed to supporting
carers in whichever ways we can and it's our mission to raise awareness of carer
issues - working in partnership with carers and on their behalf when they feel
their voice is not being heard. Thank you for the support I have taken from my
involvement with Carers Count and the courses I have taken with you over the
years. What you do is so needed by carers and I never felt totally alone in all
these years.
