North Tyneside’s Commitment to Carers

We have developed strong partnerships with organisations supporting carers in the borough of North Tyneside including across health, education and social care. We work with them to help them understand how to recognise and support carers in line with North Tyneside Carers’ Charter.

We are a lead partner with North Tyneside Council and North Tyneside Clinical Commissioning Group in developing and delivering North Tyneside’s Commitment to Carers six priorities:

  • Earlier identification of carers and the provision of quality information
  • Improved communication
  • Improved carer health, wellbeing and support
  • Support that enables carers to go to/continue to work or in education
  • Carers have access to emotional support
  • Smooth transition of support from children’s to adult services

Ending-Loneliness-

North Tyneside Carers’ Voluntary Sector Forum

The Campaign to End Loneliness believe that people of all ages need connections that matter.

There are nine million lonely people in the UK and four million of them are older people. Many older people find constant loneliness hardest to overcome. They lack the friendship and support we all need.

We’ve been experts in the field of loneliness and connection since 2011. We share research, evidence and knowledge with thousands of other organisations and the public to make a difference to older people’s lives.

We inspire everyone to connect and bring communities together across the UK.

We’re hosted by Independent Age, supported by National Lottery funding through the National Lottery Community Fund, and also funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, The Tudor Trust and donations from the general public.

Together, we can End Loneliness.
