Action for Carers Surrey have a unique service, their ‘Moving and Handling’ team. Their role is to help Surrey’s unpaid family and friend carers look after their backs – ensuring that if they have to help their loved one move (eg into the car, or up from bed) they can do so safely, with no harm caused.

The team run free sessions, demonstrating safe manoeuvres, tips and techniques, as well as explaining how to use simple equipment. Events take place online, and face-to-face.
