Many carers face emotional and financial difficulties. Many have given up their income, employment prospects or pension rights to care for someone. Others attempt to juggle jobs and their caring responsibilities. Taking on a caring role can lead to feelings of isolation, frustration, depression and result in ill health. Many carers struggle on alone, not knowing that there is help available for them. Access to information, emotional support, advocacy, financial support and opportunities to take a break can help manage the impact of caring on their lives.
