Providing unpaid care for a family member or friend can present all kinds of challenges, from filling in forms, to providing personal care, to coping with the emotional pressures caring brings. The last 20 months have been especially difficult for many carers.

Carers might be new to caring and struggling with navigating the maze of services, or they may need extra support to cope with the pressures of caring. Whatever the issue at hand, having the right information at the right time can make a huge difference for the carer and the person they care for. That’s why, with Carers Rights Day taking place today, Peter wanted to share some advice and information resources that have been created by Carers UK.

The resources are designed to bring you the advice and information you need, from financial support, COVID-19, balancing work and care, and supporting you to take a break. You can access the resources here: https://www.carersuk.org/help-and-advice.
