Newcastle Carers

Who we are

We are working for a world where carers are identified, heard and recognised.  A world where every carer has professional support, information and guidance.  

We aim to improve the quality of life for carers of all ages in Newcastle, and to tackle the inequalities that they face.  

Our vision is for carers in Newcastle to:   

• be recognised and valued   
• have access to appropriate support, information and advice   
• have choice and control  

Our values in all aspects of our work:   

• Professionalism – a high quality, confidential service that is well governed and managed   
• Equality – services and support will be accessible to all   
• Recognition – treating all carers as individuals   
• Innovative – creating and developing new ways of working and delivering services to support the needs of carers and stakeholders

• Empowerment – enabling carers to have choice and control in identifying and achieving their own goals   
• Person centred – delivering a service based on the needs of carers and the people they look after
