**About Caring Together**
At Caring Together our vision is a world with no unpaid carer in crisis, isolated or struggling alone.
We are passionate about helping people get the practical support and advice that really makes a difference to them - before, during and after their caring role.
An unpaid carer is anyone, including children and adults, who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction, and would find it hard to cope without their support.
We are proud to support more than 17,000 carers and their families every year, but there are more than 150,000 carers living in our region. And this number is rising.
We need your help to make sure unpaid carers in our local communities receive the practical and emotional support that they need.

We are looking for amazing people to help support at our young carer groups, trips, and workshops. If you are fun, outgoing, supportive, have a good sense of humour and want to help enrich the lives of young carers we would love for you to join our team.
