Carers Trust operates the largest UK-wide network of local carer organisations. We refer to the 126 carer organisations in our network as Network Partners. Network Partners specialise in promoting the wellbeing of unpaid carers and providing them with information, advice and support specific to their city or region.
In 2022, we launched our refreshed strategy 'Building a Caring Society', which sets out stretching ambitions to ensure that all carers have access to high quality local carer organisations, no carer is pushed into poverty or financially disadvantaged by their caring role and that all unpaid carers, regardless of circumstances or age, are able to enjoy a fulfilling role alongside their caring relationship.
