The big give 2017

This year we are applying to take part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge, the UK’s biggest online match funding campaign. We’re hoping to raise vital funds for much needed activities for carers. As part of our application, we need our key supporters to make promises of funding, called ‘Pledges’, which will be used as match funds to double online donations made to our charity during the campaign. If you're able to help, we're aiming to raise £2,500 in pledges before 1st September.
Smoking Cessation

We are trained in providing smoking cessation support. We know that the stress of caring can make it difficult to give up smoking. If you smoke and want to give up, we are looking to run group support to help you through the first few weeks.

COPD Breathing Space Project Overview

Breathing Space is a project for people diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and their unpaid Carers. It aims at reducing social isolation and improving wellbeing. It is available to those in Northampton, Daventry and surrounding areas

Self referral & assessment

We offer a wide range of ways to contact us and access support. For some people online is best so we offer online options to refer yourself to us whilst completing a self assessment which can be followed up with a more detailed assessment if required.
Who are carers?

The term 'Carer' can often be confusing. We use it in terms of someone who provides support for a relative or friend who has a disability, long-term illness or other additional needs. Sometimes the term 'Carer' can get mixed up for those who work for care agencies and care homes.
Professional referrals

As a professional, making a referral to us is very easy.
Support line

Our Carers Support Line provides a confidential service to support the needs of Adult and Young Carers, including Parent Carers. The service can be accessed by Carers, professionals or anyone with a Carer related enquiry or issue.
Mission statement

We've been supporting Carers in Northamptonshire since 1992.
Information for professionals
Holiday Lodge

We provide short breaks for Carers and their families at our holiday lodges in Suffolk. Carers can purchase a break privately but unfortunately our free places are now full and we have closed our waiting list until further notice.
About young carers
How you can support carers

According to the last census, there are 70,000 Carers in Northamptonshire: for us, that means there are 70,000 reasons to care. With 1-in-10 of us being a Carer at any one time, we need the support of the whole community to continue to provide the support we do and meet ever-growing demand.
Gym membership

Northamptonshire Carers have purchased a number of memberships around the county, including swimming, jacuzzi, steam rooms, specialist activity classes etc. in various leisure centres, health clubs and hotels.

Olympus Care Services are offering Carers who mention us a 10% discount if you purchase a short break in their caravan in Skegness. This may be suitable for those who would prefer a seaside break compared to our rural Suffolk lodges or those who are ineligible for Support from ourselves.
