We give support, information and advice to unpaid carers.
You are a carer if you look after a family member, friend or neighbour who without your support would not be able to manage. They may have a physical or learning disability, dementia, mental health problems, may misuse drugs or alcohol or may be ill or frail.
Anyone can become a carer: Carers come from all walks of life, all cultures and can be of any age.
The person may live with you or elsewhere, may be an adult or a child but if they rely on you for support, then you are a carer.
