Welcome to Beacon South Yorkshire
Welcome to Beacon South Yorkshire. We are dedicated to supporting carers across South Yorkshire. Wherever you’re from, whatever your background, everyone is welcome.
Who we are and what we do
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.
Our values
Shining the light for carers living with substance misuse, disabilities, mental health, dementia, or who are elderly, we aim to: –
Connect
1. Welcome any carer without judgement, who are willing to be open, self -reflective and make a personal change.
2. Create connections in a confidential and safe environment whenever needed, so no -one feels alone.
Support
1. Provide well-being support to build strength in dealing with difficult situations.
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.
2. Look after carers by listening and offering options to enable future opportunities.
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.
What is a carer?
A caregiver or carer is a paid or unpaid member of a person’s social network who helps them with activities of daily living. Since they have no specific professional training, they are often described as informal caregivers.
