Carers trust us to speak out
We work to transform the lives of unpaid carers through collaboration, influence, evidence and innovation.
Unpaid carers in the UK have told us that they feel ignored by successive governments. Moreover, local carer organisations are too often working in highly challenging operating environments. That is why we are committed to speaking truth to power, engaging with key
decision-makers and influencers across the UK to bring about the changes needed to transform the lives of unpaid carers.
Young Carers Futures
We are excited to launch our Young Carers Futures hub page where young carers can sign up to development and training sessions, virtually and in person, and find out about employment opportunities.
Adult carers feel ignored
Findings from our social care survey evidence deep-rooted failure by successive governments to meet the basic support needs of millions unpaid carers.
Making Carers Count
Making Carers Count is a multi-partner programme aiming to identify and support carers who are under-represented amongst the community groups we currently reach and who have been disproportionately affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
