The West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership shared their vision and aspirations for the 260,000 unpaid carers living across the area at a special event in Wakefield.
Over 60 representatives from voluntary and community organisations attended the event yesterday, 14 December, supported by health services, local councils and Carers UK to find out how they can contribute to the partnership’s vision for unpaid carers and to share good practice.
The partnership says many carers are ‘hidden’ providing the majority of care without formal support, around the clock, 365 days a year. A lot of young people care for parents and siblings with long term health conditions and with an ageing population the demand on carers is set to increase.
Supporting carers well so they have good health and wellbeing is claimed to be a priority for West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership.
