Do you help a family member, friend or neighbour with shopping, appointments, medication, paperwork, personal care, or simply checking they're okay?

You may be an unpaid Carer without realising it.

Many people provide unpaid care and support but don't identify as Carers, meaning they miss out on help that's available to them!

This Carers Week, find out what support is available through County Durham & Darlington Carer Support, who offer advice, information, emotional support, training, wellbeing activities, opportunities to connect with other Carers and much more.
