If you look after a relative, friend or neighbour who because of illness, disability or the effects of age, cannot manage at home without help then you are a carer and we can help you.

A carer doesn't have to be someone who lives with the person they care for or be related to them. If you care for them, then you are a carer.

If you are under the age of 18 and you help care for someone then the Young Carers Support will help you. Click on the link to the left for more information.

There is a support network for parents and carers for children with additional needs which provides information and support. Click on the link to the left for more information on the specific help they can provide.
