I was chatting to my neighbour yesterday who has been caring for his wife, we live in a different Borough but it struck me how similar his experiences were to carers I have met while working in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
One of the common things I have heard is "I wish I knew about Richmond Carers Centre before" or "I didn't know that that kind of help is available. This had been my neighbour's experience, they had been struggling to cope and not asking for anything more because they didn't know who to ask.
So my question is "How do carers find out about the support that is available to them?"
It would be good to hear from carers how they heard about the different services that have helped as this would give us a far better understanding of how people engage with services.
