There are around 120,000 unpaid carers living in Surrey, but most are not getting the support they deserve according to one charity.

Surrey Action for Carers says many feel they are merely helping someone who may be ill, frail or disabled.

But the charity says if that person couldn’t manage without your help, it means you are an unpaid carer.

They’re urging people in these roles in the county to contact them to see what financial and practical support may be available to them.
