Story
Anyone can become a carer. Sometimes its overnight, through sudden illness or injury, or it can be a gradual process as someones health deteriorates. It can be a lifetime commitment.
Taking on a caring role can lead to feelings of isolation and frustration, and result in depression or ill health. Many carers do not seek help until theyre at breaking point. Your donation can help reach isolated carers sooner.
Carers deserve dedicated support services throughout their caring journey. You can ensure they have access to specialist local knowledge, information and advice.
You donation helps Newcastle Carers - a small independent charity, supporting adults, children and young people who care for someone living in Newcastle upon Tyne. Our service is free, confidential and non-judgemental, helping carers find ways to make their situation easier.
