QUARRIERS has expanded its head injury service across Renfrewshire to benefit carers.

The service works with people aged between 17 and 64 who have experienced an acquired head injury by providing important support to them and their families.

The social care charity aimed to provide a space which would allow carers time out of their responsibilities and an environment where they can meet with like-minded individuals.

Quarriers Renfrewshire Head Injury Service joined forces with Renfrewshire Carers Centre to make the group, which meets on the third Wednesday of the month, 1pm to 3pm at the Renfrewshire Carers Centre in Paisley, possible.

The carers support group was officially launched by the Lord Provost of Paisley, whose grandson is supported by the service.

Alice Harper, Quarriers chief executive said: “We are so pleased that we were able to partner with Renfrewshire Carers Centre to provide this additional service to help support carers.

"They play a vital role in the life of someone with an acquired head injury so to be able to create a space where carers are cared for in return is quite something.”
