A carer is someone who looks after a friend or relative of any age with a physical or mental illness or disability, a learning disability or frailty or an addiction who needs support to live at home. We offer support to people in caring roles.
If you look after someone with a disability, illness, frailty or an addiction who needs support to live at home, then you are a carer. The care you provide is not paid or provided through a voluntary organisation.
Caring for someone can be very isolating. We offer advice and relief to carers. If you are caring for an adult you can assess yourself online to find out what services are available to you. Find out how to apply for care services.
Services for young people who care for parents, siblings and other relatives with physical illness or disability, learning disability, drugs and alcohol addiction or mental health problems.
