At Carers First, we understand the importance of community. When we initiated our Facebook Community group, our primary goal was to create a space where carers could support one another. This page is by carers, for carers, and we are proud to announce that we now have over 1100 members.
Since the launch of our new website in September 2021, we have noticed an increase in carers from across England using our information tools and resources. We are eager to connect these carers with a supportive community, and we believe the Carers First Facebook Community is the perfect place for this.
A few months ago, we conducted a survey within the group, asking members for their thoughts on expanding the group to include carers from across England, rather than just the regions that we work directly in. After careful consideration of the feedback we received, we have decided to open up our Facebook Community to carers in England.
We will continue to moderate the group to ensure that anyone in need of support from Carers First can be appropriately signposted or referred. We will also assist carers from other locations in accessing their local carers' support services where necessary.
We are excited about this expansion and the opportunity to connect with and support more carers across the UK. We invite all carers to join our Facebook Community and benefit from the shared experiences, advice, and support that our members offer.
For more information about the Carers First Facebook Community and how to join, please visit our website or contact us directly. We look forward to welcoming you to our growing community.
