Caring for someone can be hard, and it’s tough to find the help you need when you’re busy. There’s so much information available that it’s confusing to know where to begin.
That’s why we’ve created a special tool that gives you the information you need when you need it, customised for the needs of carers. Access Bridgit here.
Many people support a friend or loved one who relies on them, without realising their role has an official name, unpaid Carer. In fact, it takes on average two years for someone to realise they are classed as a Carer. While you will always be first and foremost a spouse, sibling, child or friend, recognising you are also a Carer means you will be able to access support and services to help you in your life and caring role.

If you are a Carer and your caring role has an impact on your life, you have a right to a Statutory Carer’s Assessment under the Carer Act 2014.
A Statutory Carer’s Assessment is a discussion with you that will help us understand the physical, emotional and practical impact that caring has on your life and to ensure you can access appropriate support services to help maintain your wellbeing. You can find out more and book your Carers Assessment here.
