Do you look after someone who has an illness, disability or special need?
There are approximately 6 million carers in the UK. Carers are unpaid and they save the government £87 billion a year. Many give up an income or future employment prospects to become a carer.
Three in five people will become a carer during their lifetime. Carers want a good quality of life for the person they care for and control over their own lives. Carers often look for support and advice that will help them in their caring role.
