Surrey’s Adult Carers
We’re here to help carers of all ages in Surrey, but the majority we support are of course adults. Adult carers will be caring for a huge variety of reasons – as parents, spouses, siblings and also as wider family and friends. You can be caring for someone all their life, or only just become, or indeed realise that you are a carer.

- parent carers
- sandwich carers (when you are caring for elderly relatives as well as children)
