Carer’s Trust highlights one of our young carers, Ariel, for Young Carers Action Day 2024. It’s great to see and hear the impact West Norfolk has.

‘After serving on the front line in the army for 14 years, Christine was later diagnosed with PTSD and agoraphobia. From the age of 6, Ariel has been caring for her mum and has had responsibilities usually taken on by someone well beyond her years.’

Supporting Families

We work with families who are caring for somebody. We do this in lots of different ways, in local services, schools and online. We help you to find ways of coping with your caring role and to build positive relationships when things get difficult. We bring people together at support groups, offer advice and guidance, and we never judge. Most importantly, we are on your side. We will always do what’s best for young and adult carers.

October 2017

“From the outset West Norfolk Carers was there for me and my family. Not only was I listened to, but I got the practical help I needed too. We like to think of West Norfolk Carers as a special friend that has got us through the difficulties we have faced.”
