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.
Professional referrals

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