Mobilise: the new digital support service for unpaid carers
Many Milton Keynes residents who provide unpaid care are not accessing the support available to them. Many people do not see themselves as carers because they are simply supporting a relative, a friend or a neighbour who needs them because of their disability or illness.
Mobilise will work alongside the existing support provided by Milton Keynes City Council, offering a range of online support, from website guides, regular
contact through emails, guide to caring e-course to ‘virtual cuppas’ and even
individual support calls - seven days a week.
The Mobilise service is free for residents of Milton Keynes. Find out more and sign-up:
