Unpaid carers look after or give help and/or support to family members, friends, neighbours or others because they have a long term health condition, ill health, problems relating to age, or a disability. For most Carers the experience of looking after someone is rewarding, however the responsibility for providing care can have a wide-ranging health, wellbeing and educational and economic impact. During 24/25 the Council supported 572 adult carers and 295 young carers to receive carer assessments. However, it is estimated there are one hundred and forty-eight thousand (148,000) adult carers and one thousand six hundred and ten (1,610) young carers across Staffordshire (Census 2021). This provision is about developing an excellent knowledge of local communities and working collaboratively through a Carers Wellbeing Partnership to: - Create and effectively implement a programme of awareness raising and promotional campaigns to reach and engage with unpaid carers.
