Our Carers Services Do you look after someone who could not manage without your help? Carers are relatives, friends or neighbours who provide support and care to a partner, child, relative, friend or neighbour who could not manage without their help.

Every year thousands of carers provide help to ill, frail and disabled people but many are not aware of the advice and support available to them.

Support for Carers

If you care for someone and you would like to find out about the support available to you or if you would like some free confidential advice we can help. We treat every Carer as an individual and help you to find the support that you need for your circumstances. We can offer you advice whether you are retired, self employed or in full time or part time employment.

If you are a carer or if you would like to access information on behalf of someone else please take a look at our factsheets for carers or contact our helpline for Carers Carerslink.

Our Bournemouth advocacy team are also able to provide advocacy support to carers over eighteen years of age within the Bournemouth area.  Find out more about free one to one support
