Your Caring Role

Anyone can become a Carer. Carers come from all walks of life, all cultures and can be of any age. It is estimated that there are around 44,000 family Carers in Buckinghamshire and around 6 million nationally. Every day another six thousand people take on a caring role. Many family Carers do not recognise themselves as a Carer; they are just looking after their son, daughter, father or wife and doing what anyone else would do in the same situation.

You may be a:

Carer from the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Community
Parent Carer
Young Carer
Working Carer

You may look after someone with: ·

a mental health problem
dementia
learning disabilities
a serious or life-limiting condition

Or you may be new to caring or adjusting to life as your caring role has ended.
