The George Hardwick Foundation
The George Hardwick Foundation supports over 5000 Carers in North East Lincolnshire and Stockton-on-Tees. Carers provide unpaid care by looking after an ill, frail or disabled family member, friend or partner. They give so much to society, yet as a consequence of caring, many people experience ill health, financial difficulties and discrimination. The George Hardwick Foundation provides specialist one-to-one advice and information, help claiming benefits / accessing grants, help with form filling, guidence about aids and adaptations, counselling, bereavement support, holistic therapies... and much more. Our flagship centre in North East Lincolnshire is based in Grimsby Town Centre. We work in partnership with North East Lincolnshire Care Trust Plus and North East Lincolnshire Council to deliver and develop all of the services we offer for carers. We aim not only to provide support to Carers, but also to fight their cause and put an end to the injustice they face on a daily basis. The North East Lincolnshire Carers Centre was officially opened by Princess Anne on 21st January 2010. |
