to a friend, relative or

neighbour who would

not manage without it?

Are you helping someone with everyday household tasks

like shopping, cleaning, cooking, washing or dressing?
Do you provide transport to medical appointments, emotional or
mental health support?

By doing these things you are considered to be a carer and there
is support available in Dorset specif cally for you.
The right support at the right time for you as a carer, is available
in just TWO steps:

1. Tell your GP Surgery you are a carer
