Being a Carer
Being a carer for someone can affect people of any age and most don't even recognise themselves as a carer.
According to the Carers Trust a Carer is defined as someone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support. This page deals with the information and support that is available to those carers.
