ARE YOU A CARER?
A carer provides care and support for a parent, relative, a child or a friend who has a disability, an age related problem, mental or physical illness or alcohol or drug problems.
WHO DO YOU CARE FOR?
Does the person you care for and support have a disability?
- An illness or health condition.
- A mental health problem.
- Age related difficulties.
- An alcohol or drug problem.
WE CAN HELP
For some people, becoming a carer may be a gradual process, for others it may happen overnight. Whatever the circumstances, it is important that carers are recognised and supported.

We're excited to be joining local organisations at next week's Middlesbrough Unlocked event with Middlesbrough Community Learning. We will be at Middlesbrough Town Hall from 10-4 on Tuesday 22nd June to chat to you about the support we can offer local Carers as we come out of the pandemic.
During the pandemic there has been a huge increase in the number of people providing unpaid care to a friend or relative and a sharp reduction in accessible support services. ![]()

This week’s Activity Survey Report from ADASS, shows that two thirds of their Directors have reported an increase in support requests from Carers who have experienced a breakdown or illness that may have resulted from a lack of social care support. ![]()

Carers Week 2021 may now be at an end, but we know that Carers work all year round and desperately need a break. Carers UK are calling on the UK Government to urgently act by increasing funding for carers’ breaks, so everyone providing significant hours of care can take a break. You can join the campaign by telling your MP about your own experience of caring and how long it has been since you had a meaningful break.![]()
