Carers UK (formerly the Carers National Association) aims to help anyone who is caring for a sick, disabled or elderly or frail friend or relative at home. Carers UK provides an information and advice service for carers; a regular newsletter Caring; and has a network of local support branches run by carers themselves throughout the UK. Contact the CarersLine for details of your nearest branch.

Carers UK works with professionals who work with carers and aims to encourage carers to recognise their own needs and bring carers needs and problems to the attention of the media and government. The organisation has campaigned effectively for new legislation and continues to do so whilst monitoring the implementation of existing legislation.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
