If you give up your time, without pay, to look after a family member, a friend, or a neighbour who is ill, frail, or has a disability, then you are a carer.
You may be a parent carer, a young carer, or care for an older person.
You and the person you care for can get help, advice, and support from many health and social care professionals and voluntary support groups in Somerset.
Use the links provided at the top of this page to find out about the help you can get.
