Chill4us Carers is based in Norwich, Norfolk.

We are a free peer support community offering help for carers and support with others who find themselves in the caring role. There is no need to feel isolated or afraid of the internet, as we are all there to support carers, and past carers, whether the problems be with benefits, disability, care of the elderly or children. Our 24 hour chat room is there for fun and support and we have an arcade with over 600 free games, a carers discussion board and a free daily carers newspaper.
