Carers Resources

Are you a Carer?

A carer is a person of any age who provides unpaid care and support to a family member, friend or neighbour who is disabled, has an illness or long-term condition, or who needs extra help as they grow older. Make sure you let us know if you think you are a carer so we can offer support.

If you care for someone, you can have an assessment to see what might help make your life easier. This is called a carer’s assessment. It is free, and any adult can ask for one.
