Unpaid Carers

Unpaid Carers

12th November 2025

Wider carer support resources. 

A new resource has been developed by the Scottish Government and Social Security Scotland to highlight the wide range of support available for unpaid carers.

A helping hand for carers' leaflet, factsheet and poster resource pack promotes a range of help at a local and national level, including wellbeing support, financial assistance and access to short breaks.

The resource was developed with unpaid carers and stakeholders to help carers find out about their rights and to access the support available to them.
