We’re dedicated to improving the lives of carers across South Yorkshire
Beacon South Yorkshire provides a range of services for family and friends who care for their loved ones. Our services are designed to support carers supporting people with substance misuse, disabilities, mental health, dementia, or who are elderly.

We are now a mayor's chosen charity
Here at Beacon South Yorkshire Carer Support Service, we are very honoured to announce we are a chosen charity by the Mayor of Barnsley. Caroline Makinson chose Beacon South Yorkshire alongside ‘TADS – Therapies for Anxiety, Depression and Stress‘, another remarkable local charity supporting young carers.

2. Create connections in a confidential and safe environment whenever needed, so no -one feels alone.
Support
2. Offer care and skills to support carers’ demands with day to day needs.
Hope
1. Build trust to be able to communicate openly to understand personal aims.
