Carers
Adult Carers
An adult carer is someone over 18 helping to look after someone, usually another adult, with their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction.
Many carers do not see themselves as carers and it takes an average of two years to acknowledge their role as a carer.
It can be difficult for carers to see their caring role as separate from the relationship they have with the person for whom they care, whether that relationship is as a parent, child, sibling, partner, or a friend.
Many carers juggle their caring responsibilities with work, study and other family commitments.
This means that the sort of roles and responsibilities that carers have to provide varies widely. They can range from help with everyday tasks such as getting out of bed and personal care such as bathing, to emotional support such as helping someone cope with the symptoms of a mental illness.

Referral
As a professional, you will meet, work with, or recognise unpaid carers as part of your everyday activities. Family and friend carers do not always recognise themselves in a caring role. Quite often, it takes someone like you to spot that they are.
Newsletters
We produce newsletters throughout the year which we send to everyone registered with our service.
They include local and national information and updates to help support carers.
