Did you know? 1 adult in every

Gateshead Carers Association exists to relieve the stresses experienced by carers in the Borough of Gateshead - in particular by providing information, advice and support services to carers, to help them and their dependents.

A carer is someone who looks after a relative or friend who is ill, disabled, elderly, or in need of emotional support. You may be a parent, husband or wife, son or daughter, friend or neighbour but if you support someone on a regular basis, you are also a carer. Being a carer often brings its own rewards but it can also be very hard work, both physically and emotionally. Carers need information about the services which can help to keep them going, and may need to talk to someone who understands how difficult it can be.
