Who we are
Welcome
Renfrewshire Carers Centre is a one stop shop for carers whose aims are to support carers in their caring role and provide them with opportunities to have a life outside of caring through a range of high quality services. Please have a look around and if we can assist in anyway please contact us. Our details are above.
Who we are
We are a voluntary organisation that provides a range of high quality services and support to carers who live in Renfrewshire.
Who are carers?
A carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to a family member, partner, relative or friend, of any age, who could not manage without this help. This could be due to age, illness, disability, long term condition, a physical or mental health problem or addiction.
Are you a carer?
You can become a carer at any age or stage in your life. Many carers are unaware of the support available to them, or what they are entitled to as they don’t see themselves as carers. They see themselves as just looking after their mother, son, partner or best friend, doing what anyone else would in the same situation.
You are a carer and we are here to support you

To inform this, we are consulting with carers and service providers.
We need your help as a member or supporter of Carers Scotland. Please take a few minutes to complete our survey.
