Carers look after family, partners or friends in need of help because they are ill, frail or have a disability. The care they provide is unpaid.

It is important that carers are recognised and offered support so that they are able to provide the essential care that they do. Maintaining and supporting carers' health and wellbeing is a major aspect within the Bolton Integrated Partnership All Age Carers Strategy 2023 - 2025.
