Together, we’re making life better for every unpaid carer in the UK.
Carers Trust is a major charity for, with and about carers. We work to improve support, services and recognition for anyone living with the challenges of caring, unpaid, for a family member or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or addiction problems. Our vision is that unpaid carers count and can access the help they need to live their lives.
Support carers trust
Carers Trust social care survey
Findings show unpaid carers being pushed to breaking point. See results from our 2020 survey, recommendations and calls to action.
There’s still time to support our Christmas appeal
There is still time to give and help us support young carers in 2021. Young carers like Oscar who has been caring for his dad since the age of 11.
There are over seven million unpaid carers in the UK
We rely on the generosity of the public to support carers in desperate need of help across the UK. A gift, no matter what size, can make a real difference to a carer's life.
Help and support that carers trust
We provide a wealth of information online to help unpaid carers access the support they need.
Locally, our network of partners support carers throughout the UK, giving them access to help, advice and breaks from caring.
