Changing Lives Project
The Changing Lives Project exists to support carers who wish to take up a new opportunity. This could be starting a new hobby such as painting, going on a training course, joining a support group or getting help to get back to work. The focus is about enhancing carers lives. Gina Culling will be on hand to provide guidance into every aspect of the process as it is not always easy to track down the many opportunities that exist even when you have decided what you would like to do. She is ready to provide advice on what is available to carers who want to try something new but would like to know more about what is out there.
If you are interested in finding out more about how Changing Lives can help you, contact Gina Culling at Carers Resource on 01751 473727.
