Online support for unpaid carers in Derbyshire
Mobilise, an online-only organisation who facilitate and provide free digital support to unpaid carers.
Over the next 3 months, Mobilise will set out to discover new carers across Derbyshire through their digital marketing approach, connecting carers with a variety of tools and services which include; key information and advice, virtual ‘cuppa’s’ to connect carers across the UK and individual support by telephone or video call.
Mobilise take a strengths-based, preventative approach across all their services and deliver increased flexibility for carers by offering support outside of the 9-5.
This on-line support option sets out to complement the existing carer service provided by Derbyshire Carers Association, who are collaborating closely with Mobilise to promote and expand the reach, particularly to those carers who don’t typically engage with traditional services.
