A carer is a person who is looking after a friend or relative who is sick, disabled,elderly or in need of emotional support.

You may be a parent, husband or wife, son or daughter, brother or sister, friend or neighbour...but if you are supporting someone on a regular basis, you are also a carer.

We will try to help by...

Giving you time to talk, in confidence and at your own pace

Helping you 'through the system' to arrange the support you need

Checking you and the person you care for are receiving the benefits you are
entitled to

Giving you information about the help that is available and the choices you may have to make

Putting you in touch with other carers or support groups

...We're here to help!
