Devon Carers Award Scheme

"Vital Support in the Community"

Do you think that you know what a Carer is and what it involves?

Did you know that it is estimated that there are 5.7 million Carers in the UK and on many occasions the Carer is a child?

A Carer is someone who is looking after or providing a regular service for a relative, friend or neighbour of any age who, due to a disability, frailty, illness and/or vulnerability cannot manage alone.

We are pleased to announce that, in recognition of the invaluable work that Carers do on a daily basis, we have established an annual award for both adult and child Carers.

Shortly an opportunity open for everyone across Devon to nominate a Carer that they know or indeed, if they are themselves a Carer, will be launched.*

This year we are pleased to confirm that we are also receiving invaluable support from Devon County Council:

"Devon County Council is delighted to support the Devon Carers Award Scheme being promoted by Crosse + Crosse Solicitors. Carers do a fantastic job looking after their friends and family who need their help and support. Through this award scheme, it is great to be able to highlight the wonderful things they do and give back a little by way of thanks for the love and care which they give every single day" David Johnstone, Director of Adult and Community Services.

If you would like to take this opportunity to nominate somebody you know then please get in touch.
