r/carer↗

A place for carers

r/carer is a community for unpaid carers to access information, support and resources. Unpaid carers give so much back, both to their loved ones and to the economy in general, sometimes at great cost to themselves. Sadly, the emotional and physical impacts they face are not well understood. We aim to be a kind, inclusive and welcoming space, so please come in, make yourself at home and share your experience of being an unpaid carer.
