Launched as a mainstream service during Carers Week 2008
£100K budget commitment for 2009/2010
Direct Payment of up to £200
278 Carers accessed the service in 2008-09

Case Studies
CARERS ADDITIONAL SUPPORT SERVICE [CASS]
Joan Cares for her son Craig who has mental health problems.
Joan also has 3 other children and 7 grandchildren.
She received a CASS payment to go for a long weekend break to Scotland.
Her caring role has affected her own health, recently she has suffered a heartattack and two strokes.
She commented: “If I hadn’t had the money to help me go to Scotland for a weekend I might of runaway, caring can be very stressful, it was a well needed break”
Pat cares for her husband Roly.
She loves being in the fresh air out in the garden watching the birds. Howevershe feels that as she is getting older and has less time that she is unable tomanage to keep the garden tidy and weeded.
It was identified during Pat’s carers assessment that support was required withthe gardening to allow her to have a break and enjoy some leisure time.
Pat said:“its great as its one less thing to worry about and in summer I can stillenjoy my garden without worrying about trying to do it myself”.
