This pilot scheme will assist older carers access services of their choice.

Run in partnership with North Somerset Crossroads this project recognises the need for carers to have choice and control over the support they receive.

It aims to reduce their stresses to allow them to continue caring and avoid the need for crisis support.

The project has developed a menu of services to give some idea of the types of support which it could help make available.

Older carers will be able to contribute to the monitoring and development of services by linking with the Age Concern Somerset project and through the Crossroads Carers Involvement Network.

They will also be encouraged to be involved in the evaluation of POPP services through with The Evaluation Trust.

For further information or if you or anyone else would like to benefit from the project please contact North Somerset Crossroads on 01934 411 842.
