Together they covered the old district council areas of County Durham and had all begun around 1995.<\/p>\n<p>It was agreed to come together to ensure that all Carers across the County got an equitable service. The organisation has gone from strength to strength and now supports over 24,000 Carers across County Durham and Darlington.<\/p>\n<p>We are a voluntary organisation which provides free high-quality services and support to unpaid Carers over the age of 18, who support someone living in County Durham &amp; Darlington or caring for someone living in County Durham &amp; Darlington.<\/p>\n<p>A registered charity and company limited by guarantee, we can work with you to help you find the information you need to care for someone and can inform you about other services to help you look after yourself.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>To speak to us, or make an enquiry, please call 0300 005 1213 or email <a href=\"mailto:admin@dccarers.org\">admin@dccarers.org<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;What we do&#8221;
