Other Ways to Help

There are many ways to help support Carers. Below you will find information on two other funds you can join to make a difference. Along with information on volunteering and our current campagin.

Co-op Community Fund

Carers Support has been selected to participate in the Co-op Community Fund for their Tilgate store in Crawley. This exciting opportunity allows us to receive automatic donations whenever Tilgate Co-op members shop at this store, helping us raise funds for our CHAT* events and PAPA* workshops. Not only do we receive contributions for Co-op own branded services and products purchased in-store, but also for Co-op services acquired outside the store, such as Co-op home insurance. Additionally, donations are made for the purchase of shopping bags within the store. Your support in shopping at Tilgate Co-op will make a meaningful impact on our cause.

Heres how you can help:

1. Become a Co-Op member by registering on their website. Click here
2. If you are not local to the Tilgate store, update your membership postcode to RH10 5EQ. This ensures your donation comes to us.
3. Make sure you use your membership card whenever you shop.
4. Nominate Carers Support as your chosen charity to receive donations.

Gift Your Time and Volunteer

We welcome volunteers from all areas of the community and levels of expertise and skills. The main skill we look for is the ability to listen and have empathy. All our volunteers have an induction into Carers Support West Sussex that covers our vision, values and how we support carers.

Always Here

No matter what the caring circumstance, CSWS offers guidance and practical and emotional support. All work is in support of the vision, which is to bring the day forward when family and friend carers are seen, heard, and included.
