Are You A Carer?

If you offer emotional and practical support to someone who might struggle without your assistance, you’re considered a carer, no matter your age, gender, race, ethnicity, or religion.

The person you care for could be a family member, friend, or neighbour. Your care might involve offering physical or emotional support, or handling their finances. You might not even realise that you’re a carer.

Many people choose to become carers willingly, while others may feel they have no other option. Caring for someone can be tough, isolating, and stressful, and some carers may worry about money or their own health.

Carers Gateway offers impartial, confidential assistance to help carers.

We take pride in providing a platform for carers to connect in both formal and informal settings. These gatherings allow carers to share information, experiences, and offer mutual support.
