#HaveYourSay  

If you’re a Salford Carer we’d love for you to join this Focus Group at Eccles Gateway. 

The ‘Salford All Age Carers Strategy‘ (2020-2024) is a city-wide strategy with priorities on how to make life better for carers in Salford.  

The Strategy will be refreshed for 2025. Salford want to place the needs, wants and aspirations of carers at the heart of the strategy for how Health and Social Care (H&SC) organisations work together over the next 5 years. 

To help inform this work, a survey has been created to understand Salford carer’s lived experiences and how supported carers feel by H&SC organisations.  

The Focus Group will review and shape the Survey before it goes live. It’s an exciting opportunity to get involved in a city-wide initiative, working towards improving support, reducing inequalities and improving the health and wellbeing of carers. 

We’re especially keen to hear from: 

• Male Carers 
• Carers of a Black, Asian or other Ethnic Minority background. 
• LGBTQIA+ Carers 

By volunteering your time and having your say, you will help shape services and make a positive difference to Salford Carers.  

We’ll provide a friendly atmosphere with brews, biscuits and fruit. Be sure to keep your travel receipts, as we’ll reimburse agreed travel expenses, so you’re not out of pocket. 

Feel free to stay afterwards and chat with carers and staff until 1pm… it’s good to socialise.  

To book onto the Focus Group: please email jemma.houghton@gaddum.org.uk or call 0161 834 6069 extension 4009.  

Or if you have any questions, give Jemma your Carers Involvement Worker a call for a friendly chat.   

Here’s a 1 minute video of what carers have said about Focus Groups.
