Lean On Me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend From Song Lean On Me By Bill Withers

Introduction Our Lean On Me is a new service in Stafford funded by Big Lottery Fund to support carers of loved ones living with Dementia.

Quotations! “I just want to be able to have my hair done once a week and have piece of mind that he is looked after “ “I need to be able to meet with friends for a coffee in a different environment without feeling anxious “ “It would be nice to meet my old RAF mates for a pint in the local, and know she is safe and looked after” “I have cancelled 3 personal medical appointments as I cant leave my wife alone.”

Project The project aims to be reactive to the daily lives, needs, issues and concerns for carers by offering timeout. The service is bespoke support in their own homes for carers and the people with dementia.

Benefits Therefore, carer’s will feel Less isolated Better informed Less stressed. Time to reflect and relax. Take a break away for just a few hours More socially included with friends and family.
