More than 12.3% of people living in Clunes are carers for another - a child, a parent or partner.  Caring for someone else is a huge undertaking at the best of times. Finding a space to catch your breath and supports to build up your reserves can be hard, especially in rural towns. Join the Neighbourhood Carers' Club. Connect and learn from others.

Working with our club members we've identified additional strategies to ease the barriers that exist for rural carers:

• Local link worker to provide personalised support for individual carers and carer cohorts*

• Setting up a closed Facebook page for all of us to communicate – supported by a qualified facilitator*

• Art-supply vouchers to offset costs of art & meditation programs

​

*Our Carers Support Committee of the Board is working on making these strategies a reality by seeking additional funding.  For more details see below:
