About us
Telford & Wrekin Carers Service has been commissioned by Telford & Wrekin Council as a project through Telford & Wrekin CVS for many years, to provide support for family and friend carers of all ages in the borough.
The aim of the Carers Service is to provide the skills, tools and knowledge to allow each carer to achieve a healthy balance between caring and creating a positive future for themselves. We aim to be the right help, in the right place, at the right time.
Our vision . . .
is for all carers in Telford and Wrekin:
-
to be listened to and valued
-
to have their rights and needs met
-
to build resilience in their caring role

Our values are . .

-
to be ethical and professional at all times

help them to have access to early information, advice and support "the right help, in the right place, at the right time"
