BE LIFE SMART
Support is there for you
Caring for a loved one who is ill, disabled or older can be valuable and rewarding, but without the right support caring can have an impact on your health, your job, your finances and your social life. Having the right information at the right time can make a huge difference for you and the person you look after.
We've teamed up with Carers UK to offer you the free help, advice and support you might need at anytime, anywhere to:
- Build networks of support
- Find information relevant to your needs
- Stay resilient yourself
- Manage the care given more effectively
Their Digital Resource has been created to offer a wealth of practical, emotional, and financial information for you. Developed in response to feedback from those who are looking after someone and combined with the specialist knowledge of the Carers UK charity, it is a comprehensive, valuable free tool for everyone in our horticultural community.
Just 3 simple steps will give you access to this free digital resource

What’s included?
The Digital Resource includes personalised support and information, e-Learning modules, hands-on guides and useful tools to help you effectively manage your caring responsibilities and give peace of mind such as:
Access to Jointly, a care co-ordination App | This lets you set up a ‘circle of care’ around the person you care for. You can invite others involved in providing that care – family, friends, neighbours, professionals – to join the circle so everyone is kept in the loop and important information is centrally shared. | |
‘How to’ guides & resources |
| |
Financial Planning | A questionnaire style tool to help you think about and manage the costs associated with caring, created with Money Advice Service called ‘Thinking Ahead’. | |
Support for Caring | Including 5 x ‘About Me’ e-learning courses on building emotional resilience and finding support. Plus, an upfront guide to caring which gives tailored advice depending on your situation. |
