Information for unpaid carers
If you look after a family member, friend or neighbour who without your support would not be able to manage, you are a carer. They may have a physical or learning disability, dementia, mental health problems, may misuse drugs or alcohol or may be ill or frail. The person may live with you or elsewhere.
Caring Together Warwickshire provided by Carers Trust Heart of England, offers a wide range of support. This includes a Carer Assessment which is an opportunity to discuss how caring for someone affects your life, what's important to you and how we can help.
