Caring for Carers Ireland

Welcome

Welcome to the Caring For Carers Ireland web-site.

Caring for Carers Ireland is a national organisation supporting Family Carers and those for whom they care. The purpose of this site is to recognise the invaluable role that carers play in Irish society and to provide a resource where you, the Carer, can find information on the practical, financial and emotional support that you need in your everyday life.

As a non- governmental organisation, Caring for Carers Ireland works in partnership with the Department of Health & Children, Department of Social & Family Affairs, Department of Community, Rural & Gaeltacht Affairs, HSE, Irish Red Cross Society and many other statutory and voluntary bodies. The range of services we provide are afforded within a framework of ninety Carers' Groups nationwide.

We hope that you enjoy your visit to this site and, remember, we always welcome any comments or suggestions you might have about this site and how we can better serve the Carers of Ireland.

You can contact us directly on our CARELINE at 065 6866515 or by e-mail at support@caringforcarers.org. We will do our best to help you with your inquiry or put you in touch with one of our many Carers' Groups around the country.

And with over 80% of all care provided in the home, there are a lot of us Carers out there!
