Please support our remarkable runners who are taking on Hackney Half Marathon to raise awareness for all unpaid carers who go the extra mile every single day.

About Carers UK

In the UK, there are 5.8 million unpaid carers, providing care for loved ones who are ill, disabled, or elderly. These carers dedicate themselves daily, often without recognition or support, facing financial and emotional challenges while balancing their own lives.

Carers UK offers vital resources, information, advice, advocacy and a supportive community. With growing demands and rising costs, our work is more crucial than ever.

How You Can Help - collectively our team of runners hope to raise £15,000

Your donation, no matter how big or small, will help provide vital support to those who need it most.

£10 could enable two carers to join a supportive Care for a Cuppa online chat and take a break from their caring responsibilities

£25 could allow a trained adviser to run a Zoom advice session, helping to connect two carers who are new to caring, bringing them together to share crucial information and support

£50 could help make vital connections and answer e-mails from two people who find it difficult to pick up the phone and call us

Thank you so much. With your support we can make a real difference and help give carers the recognition and support they deserve.
