When you're caring, getting the right information at the right time can make all the difference.
Caring can be extremely complicated, whether we’re grappling with the benefits system or considering how to fund future care costs. Each strand is confusing but when all the strands are tangled, it can feel bewildering.
The Carers UK Helpline is here when you need expert information, advice and support about your rights, about financial and practical help available or about any other challenges caring can present.
Upfront
Upfront is the first online guide of its kind to give tailored financial and practical information to those who are new to caring.
As well as the practical and financial support, you’ll find information to help you manage the impact of caring on your health and relationships. Click the link below to give it a go and get your own personalised guide to caring!
Looking after someone
‘Looking after someone’ is our guide for anyone caring for family or friends. The guide outlines your rights as a carer and gives an overview of the practical and financial support available.
It is divided into the following sections: getting help and support, your finances and your work. The guide for 2021 is available to download through the links below or to order for free from our online shop.
