About Valued Carer
What is Valued Carer?
Unpaid carers are at the heart of what we do, and in a post-pandemic world, we wanted to find a way to support both carers and our wider community alike. Valued Carer aims to raise awareness and support for unpaid carers within West Dunbartonshire, while also helping to sustain community spirit and show support for the local, independent businesses that are key to our area.
VISIT THE DIRECTORY
Carers registered with Carers of West Dunbartonshire are entitled to a Valued Carer card. This will act as a form of identification, while also unlocking discounts, promotions and unique services provided by local businesses. Businesses and organisations supporting the Valued Carer project have the opportunity to complete Carer Awareness Training with our team, highlighting who unpaid carers are, the challenges faced by unpaid carers, and what we can do to support those looking after a loved one.
Valued Carer businesses can be easily identified via our directory or by the “We Value Carers” window sticker!
For a full list of supporting businesses, please visit our Valued Carer Directory.
