For over 30 years Suffolk Family Carers has been helping family carers of all ages across Suffolk get the support they need to live fuller lives. We provided information, advice and support to thousands of family carers each year. There are over 88,000 identified carers living in Suffolk. For thousands more looking after an ill, older or disabled loved one this doesn’t have a name, it is ‘just something you do.’ Yet many family carers do not recognise they are carrying out a caring role, and this can be a real barrier to accessing vital support. Our information line handles over 7,000 calls a year from family carers and provides advice and support in a solution focused way. We advise, advocate, work closely with and support family carers and the community.
