Carers

Supporting Those Who Care

Many people don’t realise they are carers. You might see yourself as a partner, parent, sibling, friend, or neighbour – simply doing what anyone would for a loved one.

However, if you provide practical or emotional support to someone who is ill, frail, disabled, or struggling with mental ill-health or substance misuse, you are a carer.

Caring can be incredibly fulfilling, but it also comes with challenges. You may be balancing work, education, or family responsibilities alongside your caring role, which can take a toll on your financial stability, opportunities, and overall well-being. Some carers live with the person they support, while others visit regularly to help. No matter your situation, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure where to turn for support. That’s where we come in.
