Are you a Carer?
A Carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or addiction cannot cope without their support.
You are a Young Carer if you do this role and are under 18 years of age.
If you are looking after someone, we would like you to let us know so we can provide the support and information you might need.
You can be added to our Practice Carers Register and we can then give you further information and support.

Carers Space Notts is an initiative designed as a joint venture by Nottinghamshire County Council, the NHS, Nottinghamshire Carers Association, and unpaid carers themselves. The project aims to bring carers and professionals from health, social care, and other associated fields together in one place so that they can mutually benefit from the sharing of knowledge, insight, and experiences.
