About Carers Matter Norfolk

Carers Matter Norfolk (CMN) is a partnership funded by Norfolk County Council and Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group, lead by Bridges Outcome Partnership, a not-for-profit social enterprise, to provide tailored support services to meet the individual needs of unpaid adult carers. The service offers a free Advice Line, carers breaks, a highly skilled and knowledgeable team of Family Care Practitioners delivering Carer Assessments and practical support and a team of volunteers that deliver one-to-one and group wellbeing care and information in the community.

Carers Matter Norfolk aims to help the thousands of unpaid carers throughout Norfolk. The support provided can vary depending on the individual and their needs.

The role of the volunteer within Carers Matter Norfolk is highly important as it provides a friendly face for carers to engage and build relationships with outside of their family circles. Volunteers can assist with a variety of tasks, such as providing coaching and mentoring for using digital technology, help to build confidence and participate in community events and help to facilitate local carer support groups.

Carers Matter Norfolk is dedicated to developing its volunteers throughout their time with the organisation, and personal development opportunities are available to everyone.
