What are the benefits of digital support?
Many carers may not be aware of how much the internet could help them with:
- Research: Carers can find both general information online, and information specific to their caring situation.
- Saving time: By accessing government services and online banking online, individuals can save time and unnecessary trips out.
- Saving money: Carers can receive discounts for paying for things online, and save money by using price comparison sites.
- Making life more convenient: For carers who find it hard to leave the house, online activities such as shopping, banking and booking appointments online mean they can get things done without leaving the house.
- Entertainment: Carers can find entertainment online, for themselves and those they care for through games, film, music, eBooks and more.
- Managing health: The internet provides easy access to health and fitness websites, apps and tools, such as NHS Choices.
- Social contact: Carers can keep in touch with friends and family through social networking sites, Zoom and Skype.
- Peer support: Carers can communicate with people in a similar situation to themselves through platforms such as Facebook groups and online forums.
