Who is a caregiver?

Caregivers are people who provide unpaid care to a friend, family member or neighbour, who, due to illness, disability, a mental health condition or an addiction, cannot cope without support. Anyone can be an unpaid caregiver, and we are here to support any caregiver in Gateshead regardless of their age or background.
