Let us know if you are a carer
If you are a carer that helps and supports someone who can’t manage on their own, we want to ensure you get all the support you need.
We are trying to identify and support as many carers as we can.
In particular, those people that may be looking after a member of their family or helping a friend or neighbour with day to day tasks but don’t really regard themselves as a carer and are undertaking this vital activity without help or support.
If you are caring for someone, we really would like you to let us know so that we can ensure you receive all the support and information we can give. This would be on topics such as benefit entitlement, access to respite care or maybe simply being there to provide a kindly ear when things get too much.
If you are a carer, please complete our online register as a carer form.
