Information, Advice & Guidance

North Tyneside Carers’ Centre provides a confidential advice and information service. Support can be provided via telephone, email, meetings at the Centre, in your own home or at a community venue.

Our Advice Workers are available Monday – Friday 10am – 4pm to discuss your situation with you and help you resolve any immediate issues. Ongoing support can also be provided where needed. Everyone’s caring situation is different, therefore you will be offered information, advice and guidance which is tailored to meet your individual needs.
