Adult carers

If you are in a caring role the Carers UK Digital Resource for Carers is a website designed just for you. It aims to be a one-stop shop to help you to:

• identify sources of support, including technology
• maintain your own health and wellbeing
• enjoy your own independence, away from your caring role.

We know that carers play a critical role in the lives of thousands of people across the county, it is essential that you're able to access the right help and support when you need it.

This new online resource is now available to provide a range of practical help and valuable advice and information to support you in your caring role, making day-to-day life easier.

Carers visiting the site can find targeted information more efficiently and can build a network of support via an online forum.

There is also the opportunity to:

• develop personal resilience
• manage care more effectively
• access the ‘Jointly’ app that helps to support the coordination of care between family members.
