Who are carers?
Carers are people who are looking after a friend, relative, partner or neighbour who cannot manage on their own.
The person they are caring for or supporting may be elderly or ill, have a disability, have learning disabilities or a mental health problem, or be a child with special needs.
The Princess Royal Trust Camden Carers Centre gives advice, support and information to carers.
