Carewell website aims to make positive changes
Carewell is a partnership between Bupa, Carers UK and MEND to help carers, and the people they care for, make positive changes to be healthier and happier. Caring affects everyone’s life in a different way, and Carewell aims to support carers continue to provide care to their loved ones.
The website is currently in a pilot stage, but already includes lots of useful information and tips, a discussion forum for carers, and an opportunity for carers to shape the future of the website.
There is also a helpful handbook and CD which can be ordered free of charge by calling 0800 011 4777. For more information about the website visit: www.carewelluk.org
