You can register with us and access our services if you are caring for someone and living in Dorset, if you are registered with a GP in Dorset or if you are caring for somebody who lives in Dorset.
However, if you live near a border of Dorset you may find that some services in other counties, such as carer cafes, are closer for you to access.
We have listed carer centres in neighbouring counties below. If you live near to any of these counties, or if the person you care for lives in one of these counties, you may want to contact their carer centre as well to see which of their services you can access. If you need any help or further information, we can advise further if you call our helpline on 0800 368 8349 or email us at admin@carersupportdorset.co.uk.
Carers Trust have a tool that lets you search by postcode for carer support and replacement care services near you through their UK wide network of partners. Visit the Carers Trust website – www.carers.org/help-for-carers/carer-services-near-you
