Do you spend time caring for someone close to you?
If a partner, parent, child, family member, friend or neighbour who relies on your help is living with…
- Frailty
- Long-term condition or disability
- Physical health condition
- Mental health condition
- Additional needs
- Drug or alcohol dependency
…then you’re definitely an unpaid carer!
