If you’ve clicked on this checklist, chances are you’ve had a big realisation this Carers Week: you (or someone you love) is an unpaid carer. Whether caring for a loved one has been a sudden shift or something that’s gradually happened over months or even years, this moment can feel overwhelming.

It’s so important to know that you are not alone in these feelings – life may seem confusing at the moment as caring for someone you love can be exhausting and at times isolating. That’s why we’re here to make things a little easier, and why we have created this checklist — to help you take those first steps with clarity and support.

Below is an image of the checklist we have created. If you would like to download it simply click on the link below the image. Stick it on your fridge (or somewhere visible) and use it as a guide to help navigate things. Remember you don’t need to do everything at once, just one step forward everyday, or every week is progress.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or need support please don’t hesitate to reach out: email us on admin@carersupportwiltshire.co.uk, or leave us a message on 0800 181 4118 and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
