Carers Trust is a major charity for, with and about carers. We work to improve support, services and recognition for anyone living with the challenges of caring, unpaid, for a family member or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or addiction problems.
We do this with a UK-wide network of quality assured independent partners and through the provision of grants to help carers get the extra help they need to live their own lives.
