At Centrica we're proud of our partnership with Carers UK.

In the world we want, carers feel valued and supported for the huge contribution they all make. We want to make sure that the care they provide isn't taken for granted by; battling for greater understanding and support in our society, being there for carers with information and advice, right from the start and by building a network of carer positive employers.

Carers UK estimate that as many as 1 in 4 people are now unpaid carers - they could be looking after a family member or friend who is elderly, has a disability or has a mental or physical illness. This means that thousands of our colleagues and millions of our customers will be juggling their lives with their caring responsibilities. 

I'll match the first £1,000 of donations so please give generously.
