Carer Money Matters is a free, 16+ service designed to offer personalised financial guidance to help ease some of the pressure many carers are facing due to the rising cost of living and financial stress.

Our Financial Wellbeing Officers can support with:

Energy and Utilities Support:
• Saving energy and reducing bills
• Dealing with energy debt
• Accessing the Priority Services Register

Money Management and Benefits:
• Budgeting and debt support
• Understanding benefits you may be entitled to

Employment Support:
• CV and job search assistance
• Interview practice
• Information on your rights as a working carer

We’re here to help carers feel more confident about their finances – for both themselves and the person they care for.

Our two full-time Dorset Financial Wellbeing Officers can also carry out home visits or meet carers in their local communities when needed, to offer hands-on, personalised support throughout their journey.

Carers and professionals can continue to contact us via our freephone 0800 368 8349 or email admin@carersupportdorset.co.uk to refer carers for Carer Money Matters support or to speak with a member of our team.
