Help shape the services that support you and the person you care for.
Our aim is that carers are heard and help shape a system that works better for them and the person they care for. We give carers a platform to share their experience and influence how services are designed and provided.
Speaking up as a carer can be tough, yet your voice holds significant power. Historically, carers speaking out has led to real change — that's how we've got our carer rights in the first place.
Carers Voice offers you a platform to influence and improve the support system for yourself and those you care for. You can participate at your own pace.
Many don't identify as carers, viewing it as simply helping loved ones manage illness or disability. Our Carer Stories section highlights the diverse realities of caregiving — featuring personal stories, both positive and difficult, from adult carers, young carers, and parent carers.
The Carers Panel ensures trustees hear diverse carer voices when making charity decisions. Members with varied experiences challenge our assumptions, acting in the charity's best interest. This advisory forum is a formal part of our governance, guaranteeing carer perspectives directly shape our strategic direction.
If you're a carer, get in touch to express your interest in joining and influencing our work.
Unpaid carers save the government £162 billion a year, but this often comes at a cost to their own financial, physical and mental wellbeing. We interview carers and staff and explore the issues facing carers as they navigate the pitfalls of caring, the complicated benefit system and healthcare systems — all while trying to look after their own health and wellbeing.
Whether you want to join the Carers Panel, share your story, or simply have your say — we want to hear from you.
