Looking After Someone
How The Fed Helps Carer's
Our Time For You Carers' Project supports carers in a number of ways
- Who is a Carer?
If you are looking after a relative or friend, of any age, who either has a disability or illness, (whether this is physical or mental) or who is frail and elderly and if that person cannot manage without your help, you may not realise that you are also their "carer".
Being a carer may entitle you to certain legal rights, financial benefits and local government or voluntary agency services including support from The Fed.
