Making life better for carers
Looking after someone can be a rewarding experience but it can also be lonely and bewildering.
For almost 60 years Carers UK has been making life better for carers, raising their voices together to call for change and seek recognition and support.
Guided by a Board of Trustees that's primarily made up of current and former carers, it is here to make life better for carers, listening to what carers tell us and rooted in the real experiences of its members.
