Lanarkshire Carers

Accessing support early is key to making sure carers can manage their caring role. Lanarkshire Carers provide information, advice and a range of direct support services which can help you maintain or improve your quality of life and help you to continue to care. Their website provides an overview of the services they offer and how these can support you throughout your caring journey.

Their services are open to all carers aged 18 years and older living in Lanarkshire. Lanarkshire Carers is commissioned by Health and Social Care North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire Health and Social Care Partnership to deliver Adult Carer Support Services to carers living in Lanarkshire. Where appropriate, they also work in partnership with social work.

Working throughout Lanarkshire they deliver practical and emotional support to individuals and groups, build relationships with carers, help them to identify and address their support needs and make sure they know their rights. They offer support through Lanarkshire Carers Centre: Hamilton, Lanarkshire Carers Centre: Airdrie, outreach and localities.

They provide a tailored Equality and Diversity Carer Support Service, and support Young Adult Carers aged 18–25 years old and other groups of carers who are under-represented, and work in partnership with a range of organisations and services that also help carers.

You can engage with Lanarkshire Carers in a variety of ways. This can be via telephone, an online referral through their website, visiting either of their centres in person, or by arranging an appointment through their virtual drop in service.
