Carers News

THE CARE ACT 2014

Over the last few months we have been reporting on the Act in this newsletter and

hopefully many of you will have seen or heard recently some local advertisements

explaining changes to social care from April 2015 due to the Care Act 2014. The Care

Act received Royal Assent in May 2014, the Act consolidates and modernises the

framework of care and support law, which means that there are new duties for Local

Authorities and new rights for service users and carers, which brings them on an equal

footing. The Act covers mainly adults with care and support needs and adult carers, but

does touch upon transition (where a child with needs becomes an adult) and there is

some crossover for young carers and the Children’s and Families Act. We have

produced an information sheet for carers on what these changes mean in Trafford and

there is more information on the Act on pages 3 and 6 of this Newsletter. If you would

like more information about the Act and what it may mean for you, then please feel free to

call our Helpline on 0161 848 2400 to obtain a copy of the information sheet, which is

also accessible via our website www.traffordcarerscentre.org.uk

OpenAccess for Trafford Residents

Trafford Council is encouraging residents to sign up to OpenAccess: An online service

that will allow people to check, keep track of their Council Tax and Housing Benefit

update you with news and developments from the shop.

We would like to thank everyone who has donated stock for the shop, as well as the

volunteers who have been sorting through all the items and getting them ready. Until the

shoes or accessories cluttering your wardrobe, or a houseful of gadgets and unused

items, please consider donating them to the Carers Centre.

supported the Carers Centre at our community collections and bag

packing events at local supermarkets. As well as raising the profile

of carers in Trafford, you’re hard work has raised £7,924 so far this

financial year. We are very grateful to everyone who has given up

their time to help at these events. We have many more planned for

the coming year, so if you can spare a few hours to come along and

help us raise vital funds for carers in Trafford, please contact the

Helpline on 0161 848 2400 for details.

ASICS Greater Manchester Marathon

In April, a team from Trafford Carers Centre will be running the ASICS Greater

Manchester Marathon, in relay. Running 13.1 miles each, we hope to raise funds to

support carers, and also to raise awareness of unpaid carers in Trafford. You can

support us by visiting our website www.traffordcarerscentre.org.uk and looking at our

Fundraising page. You can also follow our training updates on the ‘news’ section, for

details of how we are preparing for the run.

If you would like to come along on the day and show your support to our runners, we will

be organising a Trafford Carers Centre Cheer Station, please contact the Fundraising

team on 0161 848 2400 for information on how you can get involved.

Become a Helpline Volunteer

Our Carers Helpline is open from 9.00am—8.00pm Monday—Thursday, and 9.00am—

4.30pm Friday, providing information and advice as well as emotional support to carers.

The Helpline is the first port of call for many carers; whether it is to find out more about

how we can support them, ask for information on local services or to simply talk to

someone who understands. We are recruiting for volunteers to help support our

Helpline, both during the day and the evening. We offer full training and ongoing support

for volunteers and our shifts are flexible. Volunteering on our Helpline is the perfect

opportunity to improve on and gain new skills and meet new people, while supporting a

local charity. Volunteering can be incredibly rewarding; knowing that you have made a

difference in someone’s life, and been there when they needed someone to talk to. For

more information on volunteering at the Carers Centre on our Helpline, please contact us

on 0161 848 2400 or email [email protected]

Volunteering


Volunteering at our Shop

If you’re looking for a volunteering opportunity and would like to gain some experience

working in retail or if you already have retail experience and would like to give something

back to your local community, why not consider volunteering at our charity shop? We will

be looking for people to work in the shop; serving customers and organising the stock

and displays. We will be offering full training and on-going support. Volunteers will

ideally need to be able to commit to a minimum of four hours each week, however the

shop will be open six days a week, so volunteering can fit round your other commitments.

For more information, please contact us on 0161 848 2400 or email

[email protected]

Volunteering With Young Carers

We are currently recruiting for volunteers to work with our

Young Carers Project, facilitating our Young Carers

Groups and supporting young carers. All our volunteers

as well as a DBS check before beginning work with young

carers. Perhaps you are considering pursuing a career

working with young people, or you used to be a young carer yourself? If so, please

Care Act/Children and Families Act and Transition to Adulthood

The Acts recognise that transition is a complex situation as children and their carers or

parents are having to contend with the changes in services from children’s service

provision to adults, which can be very different. The Act says that the Local Authority has

a duty to carry out a transition assessment for a young person or their carer, in order to

help them plan, if they are likely to have care and support needs once they or the person

that they are caring for turns 18. Contact the Carers Centre for the Care Act 2014

information sheet on 0161 848 2400 or visit our website www.traffordcarerscentre.org.uk.

Or call us if you would like an assessment on the same number.

Young Carers Group

The Young Carers Group meets every Thursday evening, 5.30pm—7.30pm, at Trafford

Carers Centre, 13 Warwick Road, Old Trafford, M16 0QX. The group alternates; one

week having a session for younger carers aged 5 - 11, and the next week for older teens

aged 12 - 18. Please see the Dates for Your Diary pages for details of dates. If you, or

someone you know would like to attend the group, please contact the Helpline on 0161

848 2400 or text the Young Carers Phone on 07768 381 227 to let us know so that we

can ensure we have enough staff and volunteers on hand to run the sessions.

Care Act/Children and Families Act and Young Carers

These Acts place a responsibility on the Local Authority to ensure that young carers are identi-

fied, assessed and supported. There is more information on this in our information sheet, contact

the Helpline on 0161 848 2400 or visit the website www.traffordcarerscentre.org.uk for a copy.

Older People

Dementia


Caring For Each Other in Old Age

As people get older, many find themselves in a two-way caring relationship; where carers

are caring for each other. Quite often this happens for couples, as they both develop

health problems or illnesses due to age. Many couples strive to remain as independent

as possible, for as long as possible, and caring for each other can bring them closer

together and make this possible. When the caring roles become very intense or carers

can’t carry on due to their own health, people might not look for help out of fear that they

might end up seperated. More and more now people are able to access supported living

and extra care facilities; where they can still be independent and have their own home,

but have the support they need and the reassurance that is there to help if they need it.

Elkin Court in Partington, Newhaven in Timperley and Fiona Gardens in Sale are

examples of extra care schemes where it’s residents have their own accessible

apartments, but can access shared facilities such as the lounge and support in case

there is an emergency. We run a carers coffee afternoon at Newhaven and Fiona

Gardens (details of which can be found on pages 15 and 16) and we have a caseworker

running an outreach session at Elkin court (please contact us for details of times and

dates). For more information call us on 0161 848 2400

Dementia Village

Hogewey is a village in the Netherlands, that seems like any

other village; small shops, restaurants and apartments.

However everyone who lives there suffers from dementia.

The village houses over 150 patients; carers blend in to the

environment and live with the residents, as well as running

shops and services. The aim of the care facility is to allow people with dementia the

freedom to live as independently as they can, while also offering a safe secure space

where they can receive care. Residents are free to do what they please in the village,

which offers lots of the activities you would find elsewhere. The village uses an

‘environmental approach’ to care, so while none of the staff would lie about what the

village really is, many of it’s residents think that it is a real village. Reports have shown

that residents eat better, take less medication and live longer lives than people with

dementia who live in traditional care homes.

Cancer

Act FAST Campaign Saves Lives

The Act Fast campaign, which encouraged people to call 999 if they spotted any of the

symptoms of a stroke in someone, has saved over 4,000 people from suffering long-term

disabilities, according to Public Health England. The campaign, launched in 2009, has

resulted in an extra 38,600 people reaching hospital quickly and receiving immediate

medical treatment. A new campaign is being launched to make people more aware of

mini-strokes, which have similar symptoms to strokes, as one in five people who have a

mini stroke will have a full stroke within a few days. As previously, this campaign urges

people to call 999 if they see any of the following symptoms, even if they don’t last long:

Face - has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile?

Arms - can they raise both their arms and keep them there?

Speech - is their speech slurred?

Time - time to call 999 if you see any single on of these signs.

Additional symptoms of a stroke and a mini-stroke can include: Sudden loss of vision or

blurred vision in one or both eyes, sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the

body, sudden memory loss or confusion, sudden dizziness, unsteadiness or a sudden

fall, especially with any of the other symptoms.

One in Two May Develop Cancer

Cancer Research UK have published research that up to one in

two people will develop cancer at some point in their lives. The

survey found that age was the biggest risk factor for more cancers, and is mainly due to

people living longer into old age, when cancer is more common. Cancer Research say

the new study highlights the need to improve public health and NHS cancer services, and

to put more emphasis on prevention of cancer and early detection.

As part of our carers health check service, our caseworkers can offer information and

advice on early symptoms of cancer, lifestyle choices that may help prevent some

cancers and can also help support carers to look after their own health. Carers are

offered a yearly review of their health check, to make sure they are staying well and

looking after their own health needs. If you would like a carer’s health check, please

contact us on 0161 848 2400 or refer yourself through the Self Assessment section of our

website www.traffordcarerscentre.org.uk

A public consultation on end of life support, presented at the Palliative and End of Life

Care Research Summit has rated ‘out of hours’ care for terminally ill people, their families

and their carers as a top priority for research. Chief Executive of the National Council for

Palliative Care, Claire Henry said “too many people still aren’t able to get the end of life

care and support that is right for them. That’s why understanding about and learning

from people’s experience of end of life care is so important.”

End of Life


Britons struggle to Support Bereaved Friends and

Relatives

In research undertaken by the charity Dying Matters, almost

half of all Britons surveyed said they would not feel

comfortable talking to someone who has recently been

bereaved. Many bereaved people felt that they had

experienced negative reactions to their grief, such as people

avoiding them and not wanting to continue friendships. The majority of people who were

asked said that they did know someone who had recently lost a loved one, however a

quarter of people felt that they did not know what to say to them, and nearly half said they

only spoke about the loss if the bereaved person mentioned it first. Nearly one in ten said

that they had avoided discussing it with the bereaved person at all.

You can read the full survey at www.dyingmatters.org which also found that 70% of

people who had lost a loved one said that talking to someone about their bereavement

had helped them, although many said that they couldn’t find anyone who would listen or

were afraid of upsetting people so didn’t try and speak about it. Many of the carers who

attend the bereavement group here at the Carers Centre say how simply having a space

to talk, where they know there will be no judgement, is very valuable. If you would like to

know more about our bereavement and end of life services, please contact us on 0161

848 2400 or email [email protected]

Bereavement Group

The Bereavement Group is a friendly, informal session, open to all carers who have lost

someone they cared for. Although carers share their experiences, there is no pressure to

do so, and carers who simply want to listen at the moment are also welcome. The group

meets at Trafford Carers Centre, 13 Warwick Road, Old Trafford, M16 0QX. For any

more information on the group, please call us on 0161 848 2400.

Wednesday 4th March, 1.00pm—3.00pm and 6.00pm—8.00pm

Wednesday 1st April, 1.00pm—3.00pm and 6.00pm—8.00pm

Call to Reduce Suicides

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has called on all NHS Trusts to work towards

preventing suicides, inspired by the Stop Suicide Project (run by mental health charity

Mind), which aims to help reduce the number of suicides and encourages people to reach

out to others who are struggling. Paul Farmer, Chief Executive at Mind said “we lose

4,700 people to suicide in England each year, and around a third of people who have had

recent contact with mental health services. Every suicide is a tragedy. Worryingly,

suicide rates have been creeping up over the last few years after a period of decline.” For

more information on how Stop Suicide can support you, whether you need support for you

or for someone else, visit www.stopsuicidepledge.org

Mental Health

April Mental Health Carers Forum

Monday 20th April, 1.00pm—3.00pm we

Monday 16th March, 7.00pm—9.00pm, St

Matthew’s Church Hall, Stretford, M32 9AJ.


Five Steps to Improve Mental Wellbeing

Connect with the people around you; your family, friends and neighbours. Be

active by going for a bike ride, a walk to the park or get involved with local team

sports like netball or football. Keep learning and gaining new skills, there are lots of adult

learning courses available, have a look in your local library for more information. Give to

others perhaps through a simple act of kindness to a stranger or through

volunteering. There are lots of volunteering options available at the Carers Centre. Take

notice and try and be present in the moment, thinking about your feelings and the

world around you. For a copy of our mindfulness audio CD, which can help reduce

stress, contact us on 0161 848 2400.

Mental Health Carers—Helpline

Please be aware that now that TCCP are based on Warwick Road, with Trafford Carers

Centre, there is only one Helpline number- 0161 848 2400, and all carers should use this

number if they would like to speak to us.


Meet the Team

Getting to know you - Martine and Josie

Our casework team are, to many carers, the face of the Carers Centre, and their main

point of contact with us, whether it is on the phone or face to face at home visits or drop-

ins. We sat down with Josie, our longest service caseworker and Martine, the newest

arrival, to find out what it is that they enjoy about working with carers. Josie: “I think you

have to put yourself in to a carer’s shoes, they are all individuals and experts in their own

situations, and it’s important that the support we offer is individual too, it’s not one-size-

fits-all”. Martine joined us in December “I have experience as a carer and as a service

user due to my own health, and I had to give up work due to this. I always try and keep in

mind that caring is not a linear journey; it has ups and downs and often what carers really

need is just your honesty and your understanding. I see a lot of financial hardship and

isolation, knowing that you could be the only person that carer might get a chance to see

or speak to that week, it’s very humbling and makes you want to make sure you’re doing

your very best.”

The casework team is heavily involved in outreach work in the local community, trying to

identify carers early and offer them support then, to try and avoid carer breakdown. Josie

says “you spend a lot of time helping people realise that they are carers, that what they

are doing is more than just a parental role, or more than just the role of husband or wife,

that they are caring for someone who couldn’t cope without them. People often don’t like

to admit that they may be struggling, but it’s important we see them early, because then

we can often help make small changes or interventions that make a big difference in the

long term, and help people stay as independent as possible”. Martine: “We often see

carers in crisis; where everything has got on top of them and they are still managing to

carry on, and then something that may seem small comes along, like filling out a form or

an illness and suddenly they’re at breaking point. That’s why we’re out in the community,

trying to speak to carers and making sure they know about the support we can give them.

So they know that they are not alone.”

Josie is at the MS Therapy Centre (The Cornerhouse, 4th Avenue, Trafford Park, M17

1DB) every Wednesday morning, and at Newhaven Extra Care Facility (Tulip Drive,

Timperley, WA15 6LN) every Wednesday afternoon, available to talk to carers.

To speak to any member of our Casework Team please call us on 0161 848 2400.
