It is estimated there are over 145,000 people in Essex providing care for a relative or friend. Carers
do an amazing job, and have the right to be supported. You do not have to wait
until you are struggling or there is a crisis before you ask for support. The
earlier you get help, the more difference it can make.
Find out what support we provide in Essex by visiting our Services pages or contact us to talk about your caring situation.
Each year Carers Rights Day is held to bring organisations across the UK together to help carers in their local community know their rights and find out how to get the help and support they are entitled to.
