Who is a carer? A carer is someone who provides support to family or friends who cannot manage without this help. This can be caring for a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems.
Community Ideas is part of our Lockleaze Together project– creating more opportunities for residents to take action, contribute, connect, learn and make the most of our neighbourhood.
