We're looking for people who can help us get our message out about our services and connect with local carers. Some of the ways in which our Community Champions do this includes;

  • Running information stands at community events
  • Giving a short talk about our services to a local community group

We will support you to contact your local community centres, libraries, parish halls and other places where you can set up an information table and talk to members of the public about Caregivers Connected Gateshead and caring. We will provide you with all of the information and resources you need for a stall and support you to build your confidence if you need it.
