Carers Count – Count me in!

Do you look after a relative or friend?

If you provide support to someone who is ill, elderly or has a disability, and that person cannot manage without your help, then you’re a CARER. Carers can be parents, young people, friends or neighbours. There are no restrictions on who is a Carer: if you care for someone - you’re a Carer. The last Census shows there are about 38,000 Carers in Herefordshire - only about 4,200 of them are registered. We want all Carers to register with Herefordshire Carers Support (HCS is a registered charity working for Carers).

The more Carers that are registered, the stronger our voice will be to ensure that Carers:
