As the UK's only national membership charity for carers, Carers UK is both a support network and a movement for change. For the past 50 years they have been driven by carers raising their voices together to call for change and seek recognition and support.
Looking after someone can be a rewarding experience but it can also be lonely and bewildering. At these times, carers need people around them who really understand caring. That's where Carers UK can help.
