Carers
What is a Carer?
If you regularly provide unpaid help to a family member, friend or neighbour on a daily basis, then you are a Carer.
Young Carers care for a family member or friend in an unpaid capacity, enabling them to live more independently.
Are You a Carer?
If you are a Carer, please let us know by speaking to one of our Carers Champions (Debbie at Ancaster and Janine at Caythorpe) who are also part of our reception team. If the Carers Champion is unavailable, any of our receptionists will be happy to help you.
Single Point Carer Support Line – 01522 782224.
There is a wealth of information on NHS Choices about carers and caring. Below are some links into the site that we hope you will find useful.

Caring responsibilities can make it difficult to maintain friendships or develop new ones. Telling your friends you’re a carer is important so they understand and can support you.
- Taking a break
Caring for someone can be a full-time job, but it’s essential that you take time out for yourself too. Read our guide to accessing breaks and respite.
- Housing and carers
Do you know your tenancy rights as a carer? Are you aware of all your care at home options? Do you need tips on moving someone around the home?
