CARERS TRUST SOLIHULL are an independent charity and together we work in a strong partnership to actively promote the well‑being of family carers of all ages. We believe in a world where the role and contribution of family carers is recognised and they have access to the quality support and services they need to live their own lives. We are currently looking for volunteers to offer 1‑2 hours per week in various roles within the organisation, at our support groups, helping to fundraise, befriending and on our organised trips. We welcome volunteers who can offer their time as we feel it is important to support the local community. Phone 0121 788 1143 or email centre@solihullcarers.org
