Councillor Phil Bateman Deputy Mayor said “In presenting the Stars for Social Care Awards to the Carers Support Team I want to congratulate you. There are thousands of Carers who look after relatives who have disability, mental illness or need help because of the effects of getting older. They perform essential role's and one that we need to support and value.

Carers have told the judging panel... that the Carers Support Team is brilliant at supporting them.

They have also told the judges about the dedication and commitment of members of the team, and the depth of understanding that the team have for the needs of carers. They have also told the panel how much they value the support they get from other Carers in the Carer Groups.

They have also spoke of the work of the Carer Support Team that has helped them to survive and to feel that they are not alone.”
