Thank you for visiting this section of Carers UK’s online Forum.
The spread of the coronavirus is clearly of concern for many of you and the people you look after. Several topics have already been started by members covering a range of issues related to the virus. Following a suggestion from one of our members we have created this section to contain all of the topics/threads related to coronavirus. In here you’ll find the latest guidance for carers from Carers UK, and a place to share your concerns and provide reassurance and support to each other.
The latest guidance on coronavirus from Carers UK can be found here:

Tips for carers on maintaining your wellbeing during this challenging time can be found here:

If you have any concerns about how the coronavirus will affect your individual caring situation, you can also email the Carers UK Helpline at advice@carersuk.org and they will respond as quickly as they can.
We wish you and your loved ones well during this uncertain time and hope that our supportive community on the Forum will help you in the coming weeks and months.
