Introduction
You're a carer if you regularly help a family member or friend who is ill, disabled, frail, or has mental health or substance misuse issues—without being paid.
Young carers are children or young people under 18 who support someone in their family with these kinds of needs.
This page contains useful links to people, organisations and services that can assist unpaid carers.
You can also find out more information about support for carers on the Council website.
