The main aim of Suffolk Family Carers is to help increase the well-being of family carers of all ages by offering information, advice and guidance and an advocacy service for the 98,000 family carers in Suffolk whose lives are in some way restricted because they are looking after relatives or friends who are frail, ill or who have a physical disability or mental health problem. Key goals are to: inform family carers of their rights and services available to them; represent family carers; act as advocate on behalf of family carers; continue educational and training programmes and maintain an overview and respond to change.
