Carers.
Are you a carer?
If you look after a partner, relative, friend or neighbour who is disabled, elderly or unwell due to a physical or mental health condition, you are a carer – even if you don't think of yourself as one.
Being a carer can involve providing regular help or support with everyday activities, such as shopping, cooking, personal care, attending appointments or offering emotional support.
You may be entitled to practical help, advice and support to make your caring responsibilities easier, as well as financial assistance such as Carer's Allowance.
You don't have to manage alone. There is support available to help you look after someone while also looking after your own health and wellbeing.
