**Background Information for Applicants**

Sheffield Carers Centre was formed 29 years ago and is the city’s leading provider of services for adult unpaid carers. It is part of a vibrant voluntary sector, and a member of the national Carers Trust network. We currently employ around 25 staff and 30 volunteers who all contribute to our work.

A carer is anybody who, unpaid, looks after somebody who has care and support needs arising from disability, health conditions, mental health, old age, frailty or addiction. Carers usually look after a relative. Around 3,000 carers use our services every year.

At the end of 2021 the Carers Centre was successful in its bid to deliver the contract for the city’s Carers Service with Sheffield City Council for the next 5 years. This commenced in January 2022 and provides an excellent level of financial stability.

**Business Support Systems**:The delivery of our services depends on the effective and efficient management of essential business support systems. These include:

- Our IT system, hardware and equipment. We use standard Microsoft software, along with SharePoint for document storage and management. We use 3CX for our broadband based phone system with IT support provided by 101 Digital Solutions.
- Our case management system with 14,000 records of carers. We use Charitylog, which is a web-based system, for recording case management, data collection and reporting.

**Business Support Team**:The team provides a range of administrative support and a reception service for anyone contacting the Carers Centre. This includes inputting data about carers onto our database system (Charitylog) sending Welcome Packs to people that ‘join our community of carers’ plus processing some small grants and other payments for carers.
