Carers Survey

Mon, 06/12/2010 - 14:05 — Mark Shilcock
Carers in Gateshead have the chance to contribute to a major piece of research, which aims to influence policy and services.
 
The survey, included on this page, aims to find out, who Gateshead’s carers are, who they care for, what issues they face in their daily lives and what services they value.
 
The results will influence future campaigns by Gateshead Carers Association. They will also inform GCA’s future fundraising and other activities.
