Are You a Carer?
Or do you know someone, maybe a friend, a family member, a colleague, someone from college or even a neighbour, who helps to support and care for someone else?
A carer is a person who helps and supports another person who cannot manage without that help. This might be someone in your family, a friend or even a neighbour.
This could be things like doing shopping, arranging or taking them to appointments, helping them wash or dress, helping them to go out or cooking for them, because the person is unable do those things for themselves?
Then you, or the person you know, could be a carer.
​
The person you care for could be either an adult or child, with:
-
A medical or long-term condition
-
A physical or learning disability
-
Sensory impairment
-
Dementia
-
A mental health condition
-
Substance dependency
