More than three in five of us will become unpaid carers in our lifetime. This means we will look after a family member, partner or friend who is disabled, has a long-term illness or is frail due to age.
Local charity Caring Together has produced a short film about what it means to be an unpaid carer. It’s only eight minutes long and may help you, a colleague or a friend.
