Norfolk pharmacies: Where there is a prescription there may be a carer

Many people who are collecting a prescription for someone else are unpaid carers – a family member or friend supporting someone who might not be able to cope without their help.

Looking after someone can be tough – and many carers do not realise they are able to get support, or even that they are a carer.

Carers Matter Norfolk give free advice and support to people looking after another adult in Norfolk.

Simply putting up a free poster can let people know about the support available to them and the person they care for. You can easily request free posters and leaflets at carersmatternorfolk.org.uk/resources

Or you can let a carer know they can contact Carers Matter Norfolk to find out about the free support available. They can simply go to carersmatternorfolk.org.uk/contact-us/
