This week we are sharing stories of what being a carer for someone with Huntington's disease means.


Caring for someone with Huntington’s disease is a unique experience. The right support can make a big difference and we’re here to help. Many carers have found it can help them to feel less isolated, and to get advice and support, by connecting with others in a similar situation, either in person or online. We have a website page dedicated to helping you as a carer.
