Overview

South Tyneside Adult Carers Service (STACS) has been replaced by Connected Caring South Tyneside.

Connected Caring South Tyneside is led by Age Concern Tyneside South (ACTS) in partnership with Vision and Hearing Support and Your Voice Counts.

If carers attend support groups or appointments at Wawn Street, these will now take place at:

Age Concern Tyneside South (ACTS)
29 Beach Road
South Shields
NE33 2QU

Support groups or appointments that take place at Whitburn or Hebburn Forum will stay the same.

The new service will provide:

Caring communities
Connecting carers in our community, helping to create support groups with like-minded people and support through individual and group sessions with staff, trained volunteers, and other carers.
Empowerment and support
Recognising each person's individual needs and help explore support options, opportunities for personal growth, and avenues for a life outside of caring, including opportunities for carers to enjoy time out, breaks, and social activities.
Connections to services
Helping to find solutions that best serve carers needs, connecting to relevant services such as health and social care, housing, advocacy, and counselling.
Awareness and advocacy
Raising awareness of carers' issues and rights within the community and work with local organisations and businesses to develop new or improve existing support and employment opportunities for carers.

All carers from the age of 18 can access the service.
