UNPAID local carers have been given advice at session in Lichfield.
The Grace Cares Care Club teamed up with Anthony Collins LLP for the event.
It provided guidance for those supporting partners, parents, neighbours and friends.
Hannah Montgomery, co-founder of Grace Cares, said:
“Unpaid caregivers are the backbone of our communities here in Lichfield and beyond, yet many people don’t realise what support they are entitled to or where to turn for trusted guidance.
“Care Club exists to make expert advice accessible, practical and human – so people feel more confident navigating the care system and less alone in doing so.
“Partnerships like this with Anthony Collins LLP help us bring specialist knowledge directly to the people who need it most.”
Laura Jordan, partner at Anthony Collins LLP, added:
“We know unpaid caregivers are often balancing work, family life and emotional pressures while making complex decisions for someone they love.
“Understanding rights under the Care Act, access to funding, and planning ahead can make a real difference. It was a privilege to support Grace Cares in creating a space where people could ask questions openly and leave with greater confidence.””
A further online Care Club session on the issue will take place at 9.30am on 27th April. People can register and find out more details online.
