A person (usually within the family environment) who maintains personal assistance to another who may suffer from, but is not limited to: a physical disability, mental illness, intellectual disability, or drug and/or alcohol dependency. There are no boundaries to the notion of 'caring' in this context as a large number of 'Carers' can be found throughout the globe in many different environments. Caring roles are often demanding and some services exist primarily for Carers, allowing them to 'have a break'. Support for Carers appears to be on the increase however a particular difficulty in the Human Service sector is reaching out to people who are 'unidentified carers'- those who maintain a caring role however are not aware that there is appropriate support available.

A phrase used when wanting to signal to another person you wish to engage in sexual intercourse with them. Popularised after the large number of couples which got together during the ‘Clap for Carers’ campaign during the UK lockdown. Similar to Netflix and chill but with the added thrill of the possibility you all die of covid-19.
