Could someone in your community be an unpaid carer without realising it?

Every day, people across Highland help a partner, family member, friend or neighbour who could not manage without their support. They may organise medication, provide transport, help with shopping, manage appointments or simply make sure someone is safe and well. Many people doing these things do not think of themselves as unpaid carers.

We want to reach those people, and you can help us spread the word.

It helps people recognise the support they provide and invites them to share their experiences through the Unpaid Carers in Highland consultation.

Download and display the poster

Please download, print and display the poster somewhere people in your community will see it, such as:

GP surgeries
Pharmacies
Libraries
Workplaces
Cafés
Community centres
Village halls
Faith and community groups
Local noticeboards

Every poster displayed could help us reach someone whose caring role has remained hidden and every experience shared will strengthen the evidence used to shape future unpaid carer support across Highland.
