About

A carer is unpaid and provides regular support to someone who would’nt be able to manage their daily lives without that support.  Care could be provided because they are ill, frail, disabled, living with long-term condition, have a mental illness or because they abuse substances such as drugs and alcohol.

Carers are parents, siblings, sons, daughters, partners, spouses, friends and neighbours, and are form all social and cultural backgrounds.  Providing support to someone else can have a significant impact on the life of the carer.  Most importantly many carers do not realise that they are carers.

Children and young people can be carers and their caring role can necessitate them taking on personal care and a level of responsibility that is inappropriate to their age or development.

Information, Advice and Support for carers of all ages includes a drop-in Advice Centre on the High Street, Uxbridge, a Carers Centre for activities or treatments, website, publications, benefit checks and disability benefit claims, health and wellbeing service, young carers service, plus availability at venues across the borough.
