Carers UK

Carers UK is a long established charity, which seeks to both directly support carers, and also provide information and advice on the subject. 

A vocal campaigner on the care issue, it aims to influence policy makers, employers and service providers to improve the lives of carers.  From the provision of resources such as "looking after someone - a guide to carers' rights and benefits", to information about adapting the home and managing someone’s affairs, the charity is an invaluable point of reference for all those engaged in the field.

Further help and support can be accessed by calling the Carers UK advice line on 0808 808777.
