Support for unpaid carers in Luton
Support for unpaid carers
in Luton
Free information, advice and practical support—so you can care for someone else and look after yourself.
Who we are
Carers Central is a free service provided by The Disability Resource Centre.
We are completely free and dedicated to unpaid carers living in Luton, or caring for someone in Luton.
We provide advice and information for carers, drawing on our knowledge and experience of working with local services including Luton GP practices, the Carers Partnership Board in Luton, and partners such as Mind BLMK, Deafblind UK, LutonSENDIAS, Autism Bedfordshire, Luton All Women’s Centre and Headway Luton. See our Partners page for full details.
Thanks to funding from Luton Council, we provide practical support to a great number of carers in Luton.
The Disability Resource Centre is an independent organisation and a registered charity, with disabled people and carers at the centre of its decision making. We are proud to be a Disability Confident Leader.
Why we are here
Around 9% of the population of Luton have caring responsibilities — over 18,000 people of all ages caring for others of all ages.
Carers Central is a hub that enables adult carers to get the information, advice and support they need to have a life of their own alongside their caring role.
What we can help with
Our trained advisers are at the end of the phone on 0300 303 0201 and can provide accurate, up-to-date information in a range of formats.
We can help you find support near you — from arranging an assessment with the local authority, to respite care, emotional resilience courses, workshops and wellbeing groups.
We support many carers, including:
New carers
Carers in distress
Carers whose caring role has ended
Carers with changing circumstances
Carers who need advocacy
Families of carers
