A carer is someone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support.

Across the UK today there are at least 5 million people are carers, supporting someone else who is older, disabled or seriously ill. Even before the pandemic, it is estimated that carers save the economy around £162 billion per year of state funding – the cost of a second NHS.

We understand that caring can be hard, but believe getting the right help shouldn’t be. That's why we work directly with and for, unpaid carers to provide personalised information and advice. Making it easier for those caring for someone else to continue living their lives to the fullest.
