Connect with other carers
We're by carers and for carers. This means that community and support from other carers is at the heart of what we do. You can connect with carers through our Facebook Group and meet other carers on our virtual cuppas. We use all of this to inform our weekly email support, so that we're always addressing what's important to carers right-now.

Join our online cuppas for unpaid carers, at a time that suits you ☕
Where unpaid carers come to connect over Zoom and chat about the serious (and fun) things. Don't just take our word though - here's what carers have said:
“People were honest about how things were for them without it feeling panicky. I came away with the motivation to take action on a couple of things. Plus a lovely bunch of people.”
