Carers Trust

Carers Trust is a major new charity for, with and about carers. 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.

They do this with Network Partners – a unique network of 116 independent carers centres, 55 Crossroads Care schemes and 99 young carers services. They are united by a shared vision for carers – to make sure that quality assured information, advice and practical support are available to all carers across the UK.

Carers Trust also host three online communities for carers:

• Babble for carers under 18
• Matter for carers aged 16-25, and
• carers space for adult carers

Their vision is of a world where the role and contribution of unpaid carers is recognised and that carers should have access to trusted quality support and the services they need to live their own lives.
