CLASP The Carers Centre is a registered charity which was set up in 1994 to provide a wide range of support services for carers living in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. Please click onto the links to the right to find out about our services.

Carers provide ongoing support to a relative, friend or neighbour who, due to ill health, long term condition or disability cannot manage without their help. Carers can be any age or sex, from all backgrounds and communities.

Caring responsibilities can include providing personal care (washing, bathing, dressing, feeding), cooking, housework, shopping, managing finances, helping with medication and injections, as well as providing emotional and social support. Carers are not paid for providing help, although some may be eligible for benefits.

* Drop In Sessions: Carers are invited to call in for a cup or tea or coffee and/or to get initial advice and information from an advocacy worker.
