If you’re an unpaid carer…

Caring for someone, whether that’s a family member, partner, friend or neighbour, can be rewarding, but also feel overwhelming at times. You don’t have to carry everything by yourself – support is available.

We provide free information, advice, emotional support, wellbeing activities and practical help to support you in your caring role and help you look after your own wellbeing too.

Whether you’re new to caring or have been caring for years, we’re here to help you access the support, community and information you need.

If you're looking for mental health support…

Whatever you're facing, you don't have to face it alone.

Whether you're experiencing issues such as anxiety, low mood or stress, navigating grief, or simply need someone to talk to, we'll help you find the support that's right for you.

What people say about Gaddum…

Gaddum’s help has been invaluable during some of the toughest and bleakest of times, I will keep trying to find the words (if they exist) to describe this wonderful charity and it’s army of angels.

Adult Carer

I couldn’t be more grateful, you supported me during the most difficult time of my life. You listened to my most intimate feelings, emotions and thoughts. I now feel more confident and excited about the future.

Bereavement client

The events help me to forget about my situation at home, while being led by staff who show kindness and warmth. It’s good to have the companionship of fellow carers.
