Looking after someone

If you are looking after a relative, friend or neighbour who needs support because of frailty, illness, disability or a difficulty such as an addiction, then you are a carer.

Carers Oxfordshire, a partnership between Oxfordshire County Council and Age UK Oxfordshire, aims to provide information and support to adult carers of adults in Oxfordshire. You can find out more on the Carers Oxfordshire website.

If you are under 18 and caring for someone, it is important that you get the help and support you might need. Find out more.
