Who is a Carer?

A Carer is a person of any age, adult or child, who provides unpaid support to a partner, child, relative or friend who couldn't manage to live independently or whose health or wellbeing would deteriorate without this help. This could be due to frailty, disability or serious health condition, mental ill health or substance misuse.

Talk to us if you are, or work with:-

  • An Adult Carer
  • A Parent Carer (Anyone who provides care and support to a child under 18 who is ill, has a disability or any additional needs.)
  • A Young Carer (a young person under 18 with caring responsibilities).
