Description
Barney is for people who look after a family member, friend or neighbour who needs help because of illness, disability, mental health problems or addiction.
A carer does not have to be paid. Many carers look after someone because they care about them. Being a carer can be rewarding, but it can also be hard work.
Barney can:
- Give advice and information.
- Help carers find local support.
- Tell carers about benefits and money advice.
- Help carers look after their own health and wellbeing.
- Introduce carers to groups and activities.
- Help carers plan for emergencies.
Who can use it?
