Carers information and support from the Reading & West Berkshire Carers Partnership

Are you, or is someone you know, providing much-needed unpaid care for a loved one?

We are a partnership of four commissioned local charities: Reading Mencap, Age UK Reading, Age UK Berkshire and CommuniCare. Between us we offer information, advice, and support to people throughout Reading and West Berkshire who are caring for a child or adult family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health condition or an addiction and who cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid.

The Reading and West Berkshire Carers Partnership can offer:

Information, advice and support – available for carers when it's needed most.

The team are available 9am-4.30pm, Monday-Friday to provide information, advice and guidance to carers living in Reading and West Berkshire.

The Partnership can either directly provide or assist you to access:

• Health and wellbeing support
• Free health and well-being memberships
• Access to carers breaks
• Access to carers support groups and peer support
• Free training and caring support

and much more.
