Are you a
Carer?
Do you
know someone who is a Carer?
"A Carer is someone of any age who provides
unpaid help and support to a relative, friend, partner or
child, who cannot manage because of disability, illness,
old age & frailty, learning difficulty, mental health
problem or alcohol/drug misuse."
You may be a Carer, know someone who is, or
feel that someone will need your support in the future.
There are many services designed to make life
easier for Carers, but it can be difficult to know who to
contact for what.
This website shows
you that you're not alone and that support and information
is available to help you become the carer you want to be,
and help you live your own life.
The majority of information contained on this
website has been taken from the booklet "Who Cares?" which
is a joint initiative between Norfolk County Council Social
Services and Norfolk PCT Health Information Team
co-ordinated by Norfolk Carers Partnership to provide
information to Carers.
Copies of the booklet can be ordered free
from Norfolk Carers Helpline.
