A LEAFLET campaign to reach carers unaware of the help available to them has been so successful it will now be rolled out in other areas across Essex.

Castle Point and Rochford Primary Care Trust displayed a leaflet highlighting the services available to carers on counters and placed others in prescription bags in GP surgeries, pharmacies and clinics. As a result 60 carers had made contact with a further 13 making use of the therapies or counselling which are offered to carers free of charge.

The Essex County Council funded scheme will now be launched in other parts of the county.
