Carers, Parent Carers and Young Carers

72% of carers responding to Carers UK’s State of Caring Survey said
‘they had suffered mental ill health as a result of caring.’

If you care for other people you may be worried about how to ensure care for those who rely on you at the moment – either your dependants at home or others that you regularly visit.

Let your local authority know if you provide care, or support someone you don’t live with. More information and advice from Gloucestershire County Council about money and legal matters, support for Gloucestershire’s young carers and the carers emergency scheme is available here

The provider of Gloucestershire County Council contracted services for Adult Carers is PeoplePlus and the service is called The Gloucestershire Carers Hub.

Further advice on creating a contingency plan and sources of support is available from Carers UK.

NHS.UK has a helpful social care and support guide for people who need help with day-to-day living because of illness or disability including care and support information, help from social services and charities, financial support and other options available here
