Hampshire Carers Joint Strategy 2024-2029
This strategy was published on 26th February 2024 by Hampshire Carers Partnership after consultation between carers and several organisations that work with carers. It includes a revised Hampshire Carers Charter with principles for use by any organisation that supports carers. It is available by clicking below. It will soon be available in ‘easy read’. It will also be on Connect to Support Hampshire. An Action Plan is being developed to ensure ongoing work on the key aims. More information in coming months. If any organisation that supports carers would like to adopt the Strategy or the Charter or become a member of Hampshire Carers Partnership please contact Carers Together on: Tel: 01794 519495 or Email: info@carerstogether.org.uk.
Due to a large number of applications for the Household Support Fund, as well as staff sickness, we are unfortunately running behind with the applications we have received. If you have sent us an application form but have not heard anything, please wait at least 3 weeks before contacting us as we may be processing it along with others. Please bear with us and we apologise for any delays.
Household Support Fund 23-24
Supermarket vouchers or a grant for household items needed are available for carers living in Hampshire or caring for someone living in Hampshire (not available in Southampton or Portsmouth). Funding is available until 31st March 2024 unless it is spent before then. You need to choose the supermarket where you wish to use the voucher (ASDA, Aldi, B&M, Farmfoods, M&S, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco or Waitrose). Alternatively request the household item you would like to purchase. For more information, contact Carers Together on 01794 519495 Alternatively you can fill in the form below and send it back to support@carerstogether.org.uk Funding is also available from Andover MIND and Princess Royal Trust for Carers in Hampshire. Please note you can only apply to one of the three organisations for funding.
Carers are people who give their time, unpaid, to support relatives, friends or neighbours. This may be because they are old and frail, have a disability or a long or short term health condition.
Carers Together is a carer-led charity that offers support for unpaid carers living anywhere in Hampshire including Southampton and Portsmouth.
If we can't help you, we will find the information or contact for somebody who can help you.
