Carer Support Project

Supporting those who care for others - Our Carer Support Project is designed to support family carers of Holocaust survivors and refugees and descendants with practical help, emotional support and connection to others who understand their experience.

What we do

Caring for a loved one can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging and isolating. This programme offers a safe and supportive space where carers can feel heard, supported and better equipped in their role.

We provide a range of support tailored to the needs of carers:

  • One-to-one support Practical and emotional support for family carers, offering a listening ear and guidance when needed.
  • Targeted support groups Opportunities to connect with others in similar situations, including:
    – Adult children caring for a parent with dementia
    – Spouses caring for a partner with dementia
    – Relatives supporting someone moving into a care home
  • Wellbeing sessions Activities designed to support carers’ emotional health and provide time for themselves.
  • Training sessions Practical guidance and information to help carers feel more confident and supported.
  • Signposting and guidance Helping carers access relevant services, resources and support available to them.

Who is it for?

The Carer Support Project is for family members caring for those with increasing care needs.

Our approach

We understand that every caring role is different. Our approach is flexible, compassionate and responsive to individual needs.

We aim to reduce isolation, strengthen resilience and ensure carers feel supported, informed and connected.

You don’t have to do this alone

Caring can feel overwhelming at times, but support is available. We are here to listen, guide and walk alongside you.

The generation that survived Nazi persecution
should never face hardship in later life.

If you or a loved one came to the UK as a victim of Nazi persecution, support may be available now. Contact the AJR to ensure no Holocaust refugee or survivor is left without the help they deserve.
