Are You a Carer?

For many people, being a Carer means different things. Some people do not consider themselves a “Carer”, instead they are just looking after someone close to them. A Carer is someone who provides help and support to a partner, child, relative, friend or neighbour, who could not manage without their help. The person you care for may require your care due to frailty, illness, learning, or physical disability, sensory impairment, mental illness or addiction. Many Carers do not know what services are available or how to find support and services they may find helpful.
