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.
