The Telford Carers Centre are also able to provide you with a Carers ID Card to identify you as a Carer in case you suddenly fall ill or have an accident while away from home and may find it difficult to communicate this to any helpers or emergency services. It provides them with details about the person you care for and any important contact numbers or addresses that may be important.

​

Call the Carers Centre if you would like us to post you a card.
