Carers First works directly with and for unpaid carers to provide personalised information and advice.

We understand that life as a carer can be challenging. Getting the support and help you need shouldn’t be. As a charity, we support and enable carers to make their own decisions about their caring role. There are currently 6.5 million unpaid carers in the UK today looking after someone who is older, disabled, or seriously ill. That number is rising, so there’s never been a more crucial need for an organisation like ours. We currently serve carers across eight areas in the South-East, London, East Midlands and East of England. Today we work with over 90,000 carers, providing each with lifechanging advice and help that spans everything from mental health to legal matters. With your help, we can continue to make carers feel seen, heard, and supported now, and for generations to come.
