Carers of people with MS often face a number of barriers when considering returning to education or employment. In an attempt to support carers who wish to pursue educational or learning opportunities, the Carers Opportunities Fund can offer financial help with course fees and the associated costs.
This page is for under 18's who are caring for a family member with MS. Lots of us 'help out' at home, but if you're giving lots of care and having problems as a result, we hope these pages will help.
MS is often seen as a 'white' condition. However, a growing number of people from black and minority ethnic communities within the UK have MS. For their carers, it can be more difficult to find support due to a range of things such as language barriers and a lack of services that meet their cultural needs.
Our Free Publications section (formely the Publications Shop) contains additional information for carers.
