About Us

At some point in our lives, most of us will care for someone important to us – a parent, partner, child, friend, or family member. One day, we may need that care ourselves. 

At least six million people in the UK are currently caring, unpaid, for a friend or family member. Many juggle countless unseen tasks each day – from personal care to cooking, managing medication, attending appointments, helping with finances, and being there when things feel overwhelming. 

Caring is what holds families and communities together. It can be rewarding, but it can also come at a high cost. Too often, carers are left to carry the emotional, physical, and financial strain alone, without the support they need to keep going. For many carers, it feels like everything is stacked against them. 

We don't want it to be that way. 

We make it possible for carers to live a full life alongside their caring role. We're a national charity reaching more than one million carers of all ages and backgrounds. We provide practical, emotional, and financial support through our local services across the UK – and we're there, where and when carers need us.

Support close to home matters. It means carers can turn to a local organisation that understands their area and their needs. It also creates spaces for local carers to connect with others going through similar experiences. 

We believe every carer should be able to find the right support, close to home. No carer should be pushed to crisis point by their caring role. And all carers deserve the same opportunities as everyone else.

We're building a fairer world for carers.
