Support for carers

People who find themselves in caring situations may not think they need support, but caring can get very difficult at times and it is helpful for carers to know they are not alone and that there are people who can offer support.

Unpaid carers should speak to their GP who can ensure they are registered as a carer and advise about the support which is available.
