A Carer is someone of any age who provides       unpaid support to a family member, friend or neighbour who has an illness or disability.

 

Anyone can find themselves in the position of    being a Carer and sometimes not by choice.  Carers may live with the person they care for and be unable to leave the person on their own.  Sometimes they may live close by and have to pop in several times a day to make sure they are safe and well.  Regardless of the amount of time you spend caring for the person, there are services available to help and support you.
