Case Study: Carers Support West Sussex

Report - 12 October 2020

This is an independent case study showing an example of Carers Support West Sussex’s story of adapting during the COVID crisis and what the future holds.

By working with our colleagues in the Voluntary and Community sector, we have a series of reports on our website that capture the experiences and issues from the point of view of services and groups that support local people in the community.

Carers Support West Sussex is an independent charity supporting some of the 89,000 family and friend carers living in West Sussex.

'With more than 26,000 carers currently registered with the charity, we run Support Groups, a Carer Response Line, deliver statutory carers assessments, help carers access equipment to assist them in their caring role, or provide funds so carers can do something for themselves.

We can also help carers access counselling and call back services, wellbeing support, specialist support, and have teams in all the major hospitals in West Sussex, as well as East Surrey Hospital in Redhill.'

- Sonia Mangan, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Carers Support West Sussex
