Objectives

Our vision is community where carers of today and tomorrow are fully recognised, valued and supported and have what they need to stay well, in control and feel connected.

Activities

Keeping carers well

Carers often put their own health and wellbeing second. We enable carers to maintain and improve their physical and mental health and emotional wellbeing, helping them to keep on caring for as long as they want to.

Keeping carers connected

Caring can be isolating and lonely. We encourage carers to have a life of their own and stay connected with others. We will empower family and friends to support carers close to them.

Keeping carers in control

Navigating the health and social care system, juggling work with caring responsibilities, maintaining relationships and planning for the future can all be challenging. We enable carers to stay in control and manage the impact of caring.

Creating a carer-friendly community

Three in five of us will care for someone during our lifetime and we all know someone who is caring right now. We will educate our community to ensure that today’s carers are recognised, valued and supported and the carers of tomorrow are ready.

Here for carers

We have over 20 years’ experience of supporting carers and are leading the way for a carer-friendly community. We will strive to be sustainable for the long-term so we are here for the next generation of carers.
