About Somerset Carers Service

The Somerset Carers Service offers vital free support and guidance for carers.

They recognise that whilst caring for another person is very rewarding, it can also be overwhelming and lonely at times. The Service can help link carers to local support groups and events in their area. They understand that every carer's situation is unique, and can offer specific support to carers to help them access resources and information that will help both them, and the person they are caring for.
