New Carers Guide launches to support thousands across Northamptonshire
A brand-new Carers Guide has officially launched, offering vital information, support, and resources for unpaid carers across Northamptonshire.
Developed in partnership with North Northamptonshire Council, West Northamptonshire Council, and the Integrated Care Board (ICB), and delivered by Northamptonshire Carers, the guide is a direct response to what carers said they needed most.
Funded by the Accelerating Reform Fund, the guide was a Year 1 priority for both councils and the second most requested resource by the public, following the successful rollout of One Stop Shops. It reflects a shared commitment to improving support for carers and was co-produced with carers themselves to ensure it truly meets their needs.
The guide is now live and available in multiple accessible formats, including:
• Ebook version: https://online.flippingbook.com/view/643238634/
• Large print version: https://online.flippingbook.com/view/278721400/
• Website: Carer Guide | Northamptonshire Carers Association
It is available in seven languages with the ability to be translated into others, and includes plain text for screen readers, ensuring accessibility for all. People are encouraged to share the guide widely to ensure it reaches every carer who may benefit.
Mark Major, Chief Executive Officer of Northamptonshire Carers said: “We are really proud to be able to launch this Guide for Carers with our partners. Carers are a vital part of our communities with their support and care of loved ones, and we hope this guide helps them to access the support they need and deserve.”
