Universal services
Do you look after an adult or child with a disability, long term or complex health care need, mental health or substance misuse issue?
The council and NHS Brighton and Hove are committed to supporting carers in the city. We offer a range of support for carers. Click through the list of services below to find out more about them and how to access them. Each link will take you through to the providers relevant service.
These services can all be accessed directly by carers of adults. Parent Carers of disabled children are also able to access support and services. Some of the organisations offering assistance may differ from carers of adults.
