Last week Healthwatch Thurrock invited local carers and their loved one to join us for lunch and a focus group session to discuss their support locally. We listened to what currently works well for them and what they’d like to improve. We met some incredible people and felt so fortunate to be spending the day with them. Councillor Mark Hooper joined us and was able to meet the carers and hear their views.
Many people used this opportunity to complete our new Unpaid Carers Survey, which we were very grateful for. These discussions and survey responses will go towards building on co-produced support services.
If you’d like more information on the support available to carers in Thurrock, please contact us on admin@healthwatchthurrock.org or call: 01375 389883.
