Digital resources from Carers UK
Practical, financial, health and wellbeing information and advice
Having the right information at the right time can make a significant difference for carers and those they care for. We have partnered with Carers UK to offer carers in the Wokingham borough free access to practical, financial, and emotional support through their digital platforms.
Digital Resource for Carers
The digital resource helps carers manage their caring responsibilities and look after themselves. The site has a range of:
- resources

- tools
Discover information on health and wellbeing, practical support with caring, financial assistance, and information on carers' rights, including workplace rights. Additionally, find details on how technology and home adaptations can offer peace of mind for carers and support those they care for.

Jointly: online app
The Jointly app allows carers to store information about the person they are caring for and offers the ability to:
