January 2003 Newsletter of Princess Royal Trust for Carers

Website of the Caithness Crossroads Care Attendants Scheme.  You or your carer can refer directly to Crossroads, without needing a GP or Social Work referral.

This site has useful "benefits check" for Disability Living Allowance etc which anyone can use to see if they might qualify.  There are also discussion boards where you can exchange advice, support and information with other carers anonymously.

If you have a disabled child or one with special needs, this organisation is a useful source of support and information.

If you are a carer of someone with a neurological condition, you are invited to come along to the Thursday Art Group sessions in the Nerve Centre.  The informal group meets at 1pm and is shown simple watercolour techniques.  The results so far are very impressive, and the people who go along say they find it very relaxing and a complete change from the normal routine.
