Did you know that 1 in every 8 people in the UK are caring for someone? Over 84,000 people in Devon self-identified as a carer in the 2011 census.
At Devon Carers we provide advice and support to unpaid carers around the county of Devon. We want to be able to offer this support to as many carers as we can, and we’re hoping that you can help us by circulating this short survey to your parishioners. The anonymous survey is for any Parishioner to complete and will take approximately 5-8 minutes, depending on the answers given. The results of this survey will help us shape our service and enable us to target our efforts where they are most needed. We will gain a better understanding of general public views, and specifically of the people we aim to reach.

In my role as Lead Practitioner for Awareness, I work throughout the community of Devon raising awareness of carers and am happy to attend Town and Parish Council meetings to talk about the support available to carers. I can also provide you with informative material or introduce you to your local carers support team, so that we can better support carers together. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to discuss any of this further. May I also take this opportunity to thank you for your time and for helping us to help carers across Devon.
