There are lots of ways for you to get involved in everything we’re doing this year to look back at the incredible things we’ve achieved so far and to help us in taking action to help make life better for unpaid carers.

 

Tell us your story

Do you have a story to tell? If you’ve been a carer at any point in the last 60 years we want to hear all about it!

 

"I want to see a future for carers where..."

In the run up to our 60th anniversary, we asked carers to let us know what equality means to them and what changes they would like to see in the future. Read our “I want to see a future for carers where…” report, based on findings from the State of Caring survey, to find out what carers had to say.

We would also love to hear about the future you would like to see for unpaid carers.

 

Awards

As part of our landmark anniversary, we hosted an awards ceremony to recognise and celebrate unpaid carers throughout our communities. After receiving almost 650 nominations, the winners were announced at an exclusive awards dinner on 16 October. Discover our winners and finalists here.
