If you are caring for someone, we’re here for you

What we do

Welcome to Connected Caring South Tyneside, where we join the dots to support unpaid adult carers in our community.

We tailor our solutions to you, giving you choice, control, and independence.

Here’s how we can help you.

We provide guidance on all issues affecting carers, including benefits, respite, support services, assessments, and more.

Caring Communities

We connect you to our community, and help you to create support groups with like-minded people.

Empowerment and Support

We recognise your individual needs and will help you explore support options, opportunities for personal growth, and avenues for a life outside of caring.

Connections to Services

We can help you find solutions that best serve your needs, connecting you to relevant services such as health and social care, housing, advocacy, and counselling.

Raising Awareness

We raise awareness of carers’ issues and rights within the community and work with local organisations and businesses to develop employment opportunities and support for carers.

Emotional Support

Our team provides support through individual and group sessions with staff, trained volunteers, and other carers.

Carer Breaks

Opportunities for you to enjoy time out, breaks, and social activities.

Assessments and Plans

Who we are

At Connected Caring, we understand the challenges faced by people caring for others, and the importance of tailored support to meet their individual needs. Our team is committed to delivering a personalised service that empowers carers, promotes choice, and enhances their quality of life.

Our expert team is a partnership between three well-known local organisations: Age Concern Tyneside South (ACTS), Vision & Hearing Support, and Your Voice Counts through funding from South Tyneside Council. We work together to provide essential support and assistance to unpaid adult carers in the South Tyneside community.

Working together with…

Connected Caring works closely with health and social care services, voluntary sector organisations, and community services to ensure that carers receive comprehensive support and access to resources. We work in partnership with South Tyneside Young Carers who support unpaid carers under 18 – please visit their website for more information on support for young carers.

Together, we make a difference in the lives of those who selflessly care for others.
