ARE YOU A CARER?

​

A Carer is someone who, without payment, cares for someone else due to illness, disability, or infirmity who could not manage alone.

 

Carers can be any age or gender and can be found in all communities.

 

A Carers’ lifestyle can be restricted and Carers can become mentally and

physically exhausted, because of their caring role.

 

Many people do not identify themselves as Carers and do not seek

necessary help and support.
