Carers

If you’re a Carer who helps and supports someone who can’t manage on their own, we want to ensure you get all the support you need.

You may be looking after a member of their family or helping a friend or neighbour with day to day tasks and don’t really regard yourself as a Carer and are undertaking this vital activity without help or support.

Although extremely valuable and important, caring for someone can mean being in demand round the clock and lead to a feeling of isolation, which is why we want Carers to receive all the support and information we can give.

If you are caring for someone, we really would like you to let us know, so that we can ensure our records are up-to-date and provide relevant information, advice and local support services.

There is no charge for this and it’s your chance to discuss your role as a Carer and what help you may need to:

  • Support you as a Carer.
  • Maintain your own health.
  • Balance caring with other aspects of your life, like work and family, looking at both your current and future needs.
  • Annual Seasonal Flu inoculation.
