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.
