Support
If you look after a loved one, you’ll know all about the ups and downs of caring. Guilt, resentment, stress and loneliness are just some of the common feelings that can come with caring. Carers UK believes you shouldn't have to go through it alone. It can be good to talk to other carers who understand what you are going through whether via our online forum or attending one of our branches.
Real life stories
Most people wouldn't put comedy and caring together unless you've heard the expression, "If you don't laugh you'll cry." But comedienne Lolie Ware's one woman show, ‘Too Cool To Care’ is an honest representation of her life as a carer.
