Carers UK is the leading national charity supporting unpaid carers across the UK. If you care for a family member, friend, or someone close to you, we are here to help you navigate the challenges of caring.
We offer expert information, advice, and support on a wide range of topics, including financial support, practical help, health and wellbeing, work and career, and your rights as a carer. Our services include:
- Online resources: Guides, tools, and information to help you manage caring responsibilities.
- Community and peer support: Connect with other carers through our online forum, 'Care for a Cuppa' sessions, and online meetups.
- Campaigns and advocacy: We campaign to improve carers' rights and recognition, and provide opportunities to get involved and make your voice heard.
- Support across the UK: Local teams in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland offer tailored advice and support.
Membership is free and gives you access to the latest news, information, campaign updates, and our user forum. Whether you need practical help, emotional support, or want to connect with others in similar situations, Carers UK is here for you.
All services are free of charge. You can contact us by phone, email, or online. Our Helpline is open Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm (including Bank Holidays).
