A
carer is someone, who, without payment, provides help and support
to a partner, child, relative, friend or neighbour, who could not
manage without their help.
This
could be due to age, physical or mental illness, addiction or disability.

Action
for Family Carers, formerly known as Maldon Carers Centre,
was founded in 1989 and is a registered charity providing support
and information to unpaid Carers.
It
is a network member of the Princess Royal Trust for Carers, but maintains
its own fully independent charitable status.
|
The activities of the
Centre are funded mainly by Essex County Council and the local NHS.
There are nine trustees,
who are elected volunteers, who form the Management Committee with
twenty five paid staff and seventeen volunteers who are led by the
Centre’s CEO.
|
The Charity has grown rapidly over the last four and a half years, now delivering services and support to Carers in Braintree, Brentwood, Burnham, Chelmsford, Colchester, Maldon and Mersea Island and one of the projects is delivered Essex wide.
