Are You a Carer?
There is a wealth of information on NHS UK about carers and caring. Below are some links into the site that we hope you will find useful.
It's important to tell your friends about your caring role and how it affects you so they can understand and support you. It might not be easy to know where to start, especially if you haven't been open about it in the past, but it's important to be honest.
Breaks or time off from caring are vital. Whether it's an hour every day, a couple of hours a week or a two-week holiday, we all need some time to ourselves, and carers are no exception.
Finding appropriate housing, or adapting either your home or the home of the person you care for, can make your life as a Carer a lot easier.
