Carers guide

We’ve created the Northamptonshire unpaid carer guide together with Northamptonshire Carers, West Northamptonshire Council, the Integrated Care Board and most importantly, unpaid carers themselves.

Inside, you’ll find:

• clear advice to help you manage your caring role
• information on local services you can access
• practical tips for everyday challenges
• resources to support your own wellbeing

Caring often starts suddenly, with little time to prepare. That’s why this guide is here to give you the right information and support when you need it most.

Whether you’re new to caring or have been doing it for years, this guide has been designed with you in mind.
