Carers
Crossroads have created the unpaid carers hub to support all unpaid carers across Surrey by providing them with a pathway of information.
Age UK If you look after a partner, relative or friend who's disabled or ill due to physical or mental health, you're a carer. Even if you don’t think of yourself as one. Here you can find out about the emotional, practical and financial support available to you.
Surrey County Council If you look after a family member, a partner, or friends in need of help because they are ill, frail, struggle with mental health or substance abuse, or have a disability, then you are considered to be a carer.
Action for Carers can support you by phone, through face to face meetings, support groups and workshops. They can help with benefits advice, advocacy, give practical guidance on moving and handling and provide a wealth of information and free resources. They can also signpost you, and the person you care for, on to relevant specialised sources of support.
Carers UK Across the UK today 5.7 million people are carers, supporting a loved one who is older, disabled or seriously ill.
CAB - Carers help and support You can get help and support if you're responsible for looking after someone who has a disability, is getting old or has become ill. This can range from practical help to make day-to-day life easier to benefits like Carer's Allowance
