I’m caring for someone

You’re a carer if you’re looking after someone regularly because they’re ill, elderly or disabled and caring covers a whole range of activities.

Caring for someone can be tough, especially someone who is close to you. Your needs are as important as the person you are looking after and just as they might need support on both a practical and an emotional level, so do you. There is plenty of support out there to help you look after yourself, as well as to help you look after your loved-one.
