About us

We’re an award-winning, not-for-profit, Community Interest Company and have been empowering unpaid Carers to live fulfilling lives since 2014. We’re on a mission to create Carer Friendly Communities nationally, places that understand, value and support unpaid Carers, so Carers can thrive in all areas of life and work. We deliver innovative, solutions-focussed, place-based supported digitally and in person, to create Carer Friendly Communities across the country.

We create Carer Friendly Communities, places that open their eyes and hearts to unpaid Carers.

Unpaid Carers are our family, friends, neighbours and colleagues who support someone who could not manage without them. Communities come to life when every interaction in a Carer’s day is with a person, service or business that understands and values the caring role.
