Caring for you, while you care for someone.
We're here for you.

Anyone can be a carer.

Many people don’t see themselves as carers. They are just children, parents, partners or friends who care for someone close to them.

If you are a carer, you can get help and support from the government and other organisations. 

Carer Gateway now has a new website and services to provide even more help for carers, including clear advice, free counselling, an online forum, online coaching and skills courses.

  • Help and advice
