Looking after someone

Coronavirus: support and information

If you need help during the coronavirus outbreak, please see our coronavirus webpages.

You can find details of our community helpline and other ways to get support on our I need help page, and there's also help and support if you are self isolating.

Looking after a family member, partner or friend because they are ill, frail or have a disability, and not being paid to do so, means you are what's known as a 'carer'.

You are not alone. There are an estimated 115,000 carers who live and care in Surrey. Visit the sections below to find out about the advice and support you could access across Surrey.
