Carers Trust

Who is Carers Trust and what do they do?

Carers Trust works 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.
Together with our Network Partners, we provide access to desperately-needed breaks, information and advice and education, training and employment opportunities. We help carers to maintain their own health and wellbeing and support them so they do not feel isolated. We run play and support schemes for young carers. Our Network Partners benefit from the provision of grants, our work to improve carers’ services and we help carers make their needs and voices heard and provide someone to talk to, in person and online.
Today, one in ten of us is a carer. That’s nearly six million people. So even if you aren’t a carer yourself, it’s likely you know someone who needs the support of Carers Trust.
