Are you looking after someone (a family member or someone close to you) who, because they are ill or disabled, could not manage without you? If so then you are a carer, and Mobilise can help you.
Mobilise is a charity that supports carers of all ages, who might be caring for someone with dementia, a physical or learning disability, serious illness or mental health condition. Whatever your caring role, Mobilise can help by providing:
- up-to-date information and advice on carers’ issues, including benefits
- information about Carers Assessments
- assistance to create a Carers Emergency Plan if carers are suddenly taken ill or have an accident.
- someone to talk to in confidence
- advice and support for working carers
- a young carers service for children and young people caring for a family member
- information sessions designed to help you in your caring role
- support groups where you can meet other carers in similar situations.
