Foreword for Carers Directory Welcome to the first edition of the Derbyshire Carers Directory. We hope you find the information useful and enjoy reading about the exciting opportunities that are available for carers across Derbyshire. Information is divided by area and is a mix of general information about organisations to help you and local support groups.

This Directory has been produced by Derbyshire Carers Association in partnership with Derbyshire County Council. It is very much a first version and we are keen to receive feedback. Please do contact Derbyshire Carers Association on 01773 743355 or e-mail [email protected] with any comments amendments or additions. The Directory will be updated on a regular basis, so your comments are valuable to us in order to make this directory as useful to you as possible.

This directory is also available on the Derbyshire Carers Association website www.derbyshirecraers.co.uk and the Derbyshire County Council website www.derbyshire.gov.uk

Claire Raw, Project Manager, Carers/Commissioning, Derbyshire County Council.

Helen Robinson, Chief Executive, Derbyshire Carers Association.

We, as carers, are pleased to support the introduction of the Carers Directory and hope that all carers will benefit from the information provided.
