Pumpkin Stew

A lovely vegetarian stew that is tasty and hearty in the winter months. Just chop it and cook it in one pot - saves on the dishes too!

Telephone Befriending for Carers

We offer carers a telephone befriending service to help them take a short break from their role and to enjoy some company.

My ‘Major Support System’ and ‘Full on Rocks’ my mum and Gateshead Carers

Caring from a very young age to becoming a young adult carer, this carer’s journey is so inspirational and takes us through the heartache of illness, loss and a series of set-backs to success and happiness!

Discussing Loneliness

Paul discusses loneliness and ways to feel less lonely.

I have seen both sides of the coin!

I am passionate about the invaluable role that carers play in the support of their loved ones. I am first and foremost a mother and by the nature of that, a primary carer for my son. I took on this role following his diagnosis of Schizophrenia approximately 20 years ago.

Am I invisible?

‘I often feel invisible as a carer and that no one else understands. When I found Gateshead Carers I was listened to and being able to meet with my Support Worker and sometimes go on carer trips gave me something to really look forward to,” Fran explained.
