Getting support if you are an Adult Carer

Experience carers’ journeys

You’ve come to the right place for support in every stage of your journey as a carer. Let’s get started.

Carer

Not sure if you’re a carer?

A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support.

Carers are eligible for a wide range of support, including ours. If you think you may be eligible, please make a self-referral.

Looking after yourself

Looking after yourself

The idea of caring for yourself when you are caring for someone else might seem a bit strange. But it really is true that unless you look after yourself, you’ll find it even tougher to look after them.

Support from The Carers Centre can help you take back your independence, and make sure you get the right help at the right time.
