Credu work very closely with Statutory (public services) and Third Sector (voluntary and charity) organisations, as well as with Carers, in order to provide services throughout Powys. Credu help professionals in other sectors to support Carers effectively, for example in schools, housing and health.
Credu listen to Carers and feed their views back to local and national policy makers and decision makers. They carry out consultations and feed back suggestions for improving services for Carers and play an active part in promoting Carers' rights. It is a key part of their role to help build awareness about Carers; their role and their needs - both locally and nationally.
There is no membership fee and Credu rely on funding to share their resources freely with Carers and their families.
