Carers UK

Carers UK is a charity set up to support the 6 million people in the UK who care unpaid for an elderly relative, a sick partner or a disabled family member. Caring is part of life but without the right support the personal costs of caring can be high. Caring can take its toll on your finances, your health, your social life and on your other family and work commitments. Yet without unpaid care our NHS would collapse and the country would face a £119 billion bill it cannot afford. Carers UK provides advice, information and support and runs a network of local groups which break the isolation faced by many carers by putting them in touch with each other and providing a vital listening ear through their volunteering service network.
When caring affects you and your family Carers UK is here for you.
