Carers
About Carers
A carer is anyone, including children and adults who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction and cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid.
This page is to help direct you to someone who can help you to gain the advice and support you need.
