An unpaid carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to a family member or friend who has a disability, illness, mental health condition or who needs extra help as they grow older.

For some, taking on a caring role can be sudden; someone in their family has an accident or a child is born with a disability. For others, caring responsibilities can grow gradually over time; their parents cannot manage on their own any longer or a partners mental or physical health gradually worsens.

Together with The Lord Mayor of Westminster Councillor Patricia McAllister I will be fundraising so that we can help improve the lives of even more local unpaid carers so they can lead healthy fulfilling lives, with a range of practical, personal and financial support, suited to their needs.

With your help, together we can make sure that no one cares alone!
