About us
Having the right information at the right time can make a significant difference to carers and the people they look after. We believe that technology has a vital role to play in supporting carers and digital solutions can prove both cost effective and highly beneficial. That’s why we developed the Digital Resource for Carers, a service designed to give unpaid carers the support they need when they need it.
Delivered through subscribing organisations such as local authorities and other service providers, the Digital Resource for Carers platform is packed with carefully curated resources, e-learning modules, hands-on guides and tools to help carers manage their caring responsibilities and look after themselves. The Digital Resource for Carers platform is customisable allowing subscribing organisations to promote their own content to their beneficiaries. Through our comprehensive wrap-around service, we identify carers in the localities we work in and promote the service to them via a series of geotargeted Social Media campaigns. The service delivers additional support to carers via a monthly newsletter and regular online sessions.
