Information Packs

The Service publishes a Carers Information Pack covering the whole of the Regis, Chichester and Rural area - check on our Geographical Area page if you are not sure if that includes your area.

The current edition was published in January 2009.

The pack contains information on local Health and Social Services, local voluntary agencies, financial matters, equipment and adaptations, and a wide range of other matters.

Click on the chapter headings below or download the PDF to view the sections of the pack. Copies are also available by post. Please contact the Service, and we will send you one.

This is a large file, and will take about five minutes to download on an average dial-up connection.  However, you will get the whole pack.
