Carers Centre

Over two million people are faced with new caring responsibilities each year. At any given time, six million carers are taking responsibility, voluntarily, for looking after, supporting or assisting someone else who needs help because of a long-term illness, frailty or disability. It could be a family member, a friend or relative who is getting old or has a disability. The carer may be young or old, husband, wife, child or sibling, friend or neighbour. Most people will at some time take responsibility for looking after someone else who needs help.

The Carers Centre exists to provide information, support and access to breaks for carers in Portsmouth.
