Make sure you send in your carer survey before the deadline!

There is still time for carers who have been sent a Carers Survey questionnaire by Southampton City Council to respond to this national survey. The fieldwork ends on November 30th and it is vital that carers express their views about local carers’ services as they have the right to do so.

Light up a Life on the Tree of Remembrance

Light up a Life is an opportunity to remember someone special by dedicating a light on the Tree of Remembrance at Countess Moutbatten Hospice. Each light on the tree shines brightly in memory throughout the Christmas period. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether you have received the services of Countess Mountbatten Hospice or not.

What we do

Carers in Southampton is a free service for adult informal carers who give their time, unpaid, to look after an adult family member, friend or neighbour with additional support needs. We administer Carers Assessments on behalf of SCC and also provide support and relevant information.
