Business Profile

Solihull Carers Centre provides emotional support, information, advice, advocacy and assistance to those providing unpaid care for a relative, friend or other person who has a disability, is frail or has a long term illness.

About Us

We work towards increasing awareness of the role played by carers in maintaining the care of others within the community, towards increasing recognition of the real expertise they have to offer and the valuable contribution they make to society.

In total there are 5.7 million adult carers across the UK, of whom almost one million are looking after somebody for more than 50 hours each week. There are also estimated to be 50,000 young carers in the UK - young people under the age of 18 who might, for example, be helping to look after a parent with physical disabilities or mental health problems, or who may be caring for a brother or sister with learning disabilities.
