Looking after someone else
==========================

A carer is anyone who provides unpaid care and support for a family member or friend who couldn’t manage without the help. For example, you could be caring for your husband, wife, partner, parent or child with additional needs.

Being a carer can be challenging and lonely, but there is support available to help you:

- get the benefits and help you are entitled to
- find other carers in your area and take part in social activities
- get advice and information
- access services to help you stay healthy and well.
