01254 387444 or email info@carerslinklancashire.co.uk Referrals before Christmas As you will be no doubt aware and perhaps in a similar situation, we want to help unpaid carers access support early on in the caring role, before they reach crisis point. This time of year can be particularly difficult for unpaid carers to find time for themselves, and to access support with Christmas closures. We would be extremely grateful if you could get consented referrals to us as soon as possible, to offer the support as early in the caring role as possible. You can refer online at https://www.carerslinklancashire.co.uk/for-professionals-employers Or through Liquid Logic/LAS. If you require any further information, please email info@careslinklancashire.co.uk Coming Up This Month...  PLEASE NOTE THE CANCELLATION OF THE FOLLOWING:

We: - raised £100 in fundraising which will go towards our continuous support for our registered unpaid carers - did 7 blood pressure checks - did 18 mini ECGs, which resulted in 2 referrals to GP for potential heart conditions identified - hosted external organisations to provide additional advice and support to those in a caring role Carers Christmas Party!
