More and more people (young and old) are caring for someone else. For example, caring for a parent, a loved one with a long-term illness or someone with a disability.
Informal care is provided voluntarily and is often combined with work, studies, family and social life. This means that much is asked of the informal caregiver who can easily become overburdened. Surplus supports informal caregivers by offering information, advice, education, (practical) support, guidance and expertise promotion.
