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.
Findings show unpaid carers being pushed to breaking point. See results from our 2020 survey, recommendations and calls to action.
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.

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.
