A carer is anyone who helps somebody (usually a relative or friend) who needs support in their day to day life due to illness, frailty, disabilities, or mental health or substance misuse problems. This is an unpaid role, and is not the same as someone who is paid, provides care professionally, or through a voluntary organisation. Carers may frequently provide support including assistance with personal care, household tasks, finances, emotional support and leisure.

As a carer it is really important that we hear your feedback on our services, as your views matter on whether we are getting it right or not. Please share your feedback via our form below.
