Carers Direct

The Carers Direct national helpline can help unpaid carers by providing information, advice and support as well as practical guidance on how to access the services they need.

Carers Direct offers a range of information on work, education, financial and legal issues, help for young carers, and keeping healthy. We provide a guide to caring, and information on how carers can access services for the person they're caring for.

Our advisors can also signpost to specialist agencies for casework, advocacy, representation, and counselling in relation to legal, medical and financial matters.

To speak to one of our trained advisors call Carers Direct Freephone: 0808 802 0202. Lines are open 8am to 9pm Mon - Fri and 11am - 4pm on weekends and bank holidays.

The Carers Direct website has practical information as well as discussion forums, video and other interactive content.
