Are you still waiting to have your Carers Assessment?

February 14, 2013
Caring for someone who has additional needs due to their age, illness or disability is a vey difficult job.
The law says that if you provide a ‘substantial’ amount of care to someone on a ‘regular’ basis you have a freestanding right to a carer’s assessment. This applies to carers of any age who provide care to adults or disabled children.

Each year, the Carers’ Resource teams in Shipley and Skipton team up with Cadbury’s to knit Easter chick covers for the chocolate giant’s Creme Eggs – and raise money in an eye-catching fashion.
But this year’s collection features a limited edition in claret and amber to commemorate Bradford City’s trip to Wembley Stadium for the Capital One Cup final against Swansea City on Sunday.
The project hatched the idea of turning Bantams’ stars such as James Hanson into James Hen-son and Rory McArdle into Rory Cluck-Ardle, after the side dumped Premiership opponents Aston Villa out of the cup.

The future is looking increasingly bright for a Norfolk charity and the children and young people they support, after Norfolk County Council granted them a significant funding boost.
Nelson’s Journey, currently based on Meridian Way in Thorpe St Andrew, will receive £250,000 from the council towards their fundraising efforts to purchase a property for their new headquarters.
Established in 1997, the charity supports bereaved children (up to and including the age of 17) living in Norfolk to move forward positively, following the death of a significant person in their life.
