Do you worry about the person you care for when you go out shopping? You may be able to leave them for an hour or two, but what will happen if you are taken ill, or have an accident while you are out?

You could be taken off to hospital and no-one would know there is someone at home who relies on you, who could be scared and unable to cope on their own.

This is where our 'Emergency Card' can help. Carers carry a small card saying they are a carer and giving 2 telephone numbers to call to ensure that alternative carers are contacted.

For more information please call 020 7607 9080.
