About us

Action for Carers Surrey is led by carers, run by an executive committee of carers and supported by professionals from Health, Social Services and the voluntary sector.

Our main aim is to raise awareness of carers’ needs and concerns throughout the county and to work in partnership with statutory services such as health care and social care teams to promote how best they can serve carers within Surrey. Our GP Carer Awareness Team works particularly with GPs and Primary Care professionals.

Action for Carers Surrey also works closely with national carers’ organisations including Carers Trust and Carers UK, ensuring Carers get better access to services and support throughout the UK.

In addition we also provide a number of specialist services: information, advice and activities for young carers, moving and handling information and advice and support on issues relating to learning and work.
