• We link people to both voluntary and statutory agencies when necessary and liaise with these agencies on behalf of families.

• We provide support in finding carers' services where necessary.

• We provide support in bad times and encouragement in good times.

• We provide information to people on available services and how to access them in a way that is straightforward, uncomplicated non-jargonistic.
