Who We Are

Carers in Hertfordshire provides advice, information and support to unpaid family carers and caring friends - people looking after someone who is elderly, disabled, has a physical or mental illness or who misuses drugs or alcohol. The charity supports carers of all ages – children and adults – if they live, work or care in Hertfordshire. Bereaved carers can also access support and services for up to three years after the death of the person they looked after. Ensuring Hertfordshire's carers are identified, supported and that they stay well, is at the heart of our work. Services are provided free to carers.
