From helping carers access vital services, to ensuring their voices are heard, your gift can create a lasting legacy of compassion and support. Every contribution matters, and together, we can ensure unpaid carers in Dorset continue to receive the recognition and assistance they truly deserve for many years to come.

We are Carer Support Dorset! A charity dedicated to supporting carers and creating carer friendly communities in Dorset. If you are looking after someone, we are here to support you. 💕 You could be looking after a parent, child, sibling, partner or grandparent or friend. You could be helping with household tasks such as cleaning or cooking, administering medication, organising and transporting someone to medical appointments, providing personal care or providing emotional support. You could be doing it once a day, a couple of times a week or all the time. There are no time limits to being a carer. No matter your situation, we are here to support you.

Stereotypes around caring can also play a huge role in making it harder to talk about being a male unpaid carer. Caring and emotional support in general can often be seen as a ‘women’s role’, or portrayed in the media as mostly something women do. In reality, the 2011 census found that 42% of carers in the UK are male. Read Miles's story of looking after his daughter https://lnkd.in/emuCKFW6 #carers #Dorset
