Who is a Carer.PNG

Carers are people looking after their relatives or friends who, because of a disability, illness or the effects of old age, cannot manage at home without help.

A Carer could be a parent, a child, a partner, a spouse, a neighbour or a friend. You are a Carer if you are looking after a young child with a learning disability, caring for an elderly spouse with dementia or helping a friend with a mental health problem, to name but a few examples.

Some may care for a few hours a week - others may care for someone all day, every day.

Many Carers live with the people they care for, or they may visit the person in their own home. This could be miles away or just around the corner.
