Forward Carers Avis 

Anne Barnes came to our parent carer support group to talk about Forward Carers and Carers Rights. We had 19 parents attend and all found the information delivered very useful and informative. Anne's delivery is professional and caring and took time to understand the questions raised to her. Thank you Anne, we would like to invite you again soon.

Great group session delivered by Anne. Advice and help given. With what’s there for us.

Ann is a lovely person gave great advice and information

Easy to do, plenty resources. Highly recommend

Lovely to meet Anne and Anna at the NHS expo, fantastic to hear about the work they are doing with young carers and to find out more. As a worker with 16-18 year olds it’s great to find out more

Very easy process.

I haven’t heard anything since payment
Payment wasn’t straight forward

Monica and a colleague from Forward Carers visited us at Birmingham Women's Hospital today. A stall was prepared in our lobby bursting with information and resources. We also toured the hospital to ensure our staff know how to refer to Forward Carers - and a little about the support available. It was so valuable and really helps staff in their personal lives, in addition to being a really valuable resource for us to share with patients, parents & families.

Forward Carers have have been supportive and collaborative in helping raise awareness of what is available for carers and also enabling people to recognise when they are a carer. We have had two afternoons at SWBH one on each site to engage with our staff, patients and families

Really useful for our ladies who are mostly all carers .

This score is given because I could access thevpayment page as when I followed the link the page wasn't available

excellent quick service

I met four lovely ladies from forward carers. I presented with my carers card which can be used to get discounts at several locations and online. I was telling them that I will become a yoga teacher next month with two other carers. I explained how having access to yoga during the Pandemic was an absolute lifesaver. I felt as if Kam had looked inside my soul each week as she's a carer too. She has an excellent understanding of how we are feeling and just had the right encouragement to get us through another week . Faye, Wendy . Tania and Jon have inspired me to stay steadfast and finish my yoga teacher training course.
I wish that more carers can access All the great activities and events provided by the forward carer team

Monica came out to our carers groups today, which was fantastic. She was able to provide information, advice, and guidance on the services provided to carers.
She arrived with resources and goodies and was able to answer questions and guide carers in the right direction of support.

I met Anne today at Let’s Get Together event… she is so helpful and helped me, as a student, understand what is out there for carers.

Thank you Anne Barnes for attending Women of Haymills Coffee Morning, and providing extremely useful information to our ladies, for being kind, friendly and approachable and signposting them to services that may help them as unofficial carers.

Anna and Monica was excellent in sharing the information available to the carers launch at our BCHCStaff event and was very friendly and knowledgable about what was on offer.

I attended a Carers Week event at the BID Signing Tree Centre on Tuesday 11th June 2024. There was a Forward Carers stand there with lots of leaflets and useful information. I spoke to a lady named Jess who was very knowledgeable and gave me a lot of useful advice although I must say, since I'd registered with FC's, I get regular updates and newsletters so was already in receipt of a lot of the services they offer. They offer a good service. I am very pleased with them and am glad I registered with them. It was through them I was aware of Carers Week. Thank you all.

I attended Carer's event day at The Signing Tree based in Ladywood and it was a very good experience.
Everyone was very helpful and supportive. I got help in completing the form that will ensure that I can get discounts.
Everyone was friendly and helpful.
Well done to the organisers and everyone who was present today 👏
