Supporting Hertfordshire's Unpaid Carers

We have over 45,000 unpaid carers registered with us, including over 2,000 under 18.

Who We Are

We are an innovative, carer-led charity providing free support to carers of all ages. Our mission is to ensure carers receive timely information and assistance. We offer training courses, peer support, and encourage carers to take time away from their responsibilities to maintain their health and wellbeing.

We also provide opportunities for carers to have a voice and influence those involved in the planning and delivery of health, care, and community services in Hertfordshire. Our services are available to people who live, work, or care in Hertfordshire, or have a GP in Herts. Additionally, we support bereaved carers for three years after the death of the person they cared for.

What We Do

• Help carers with training, peer support, and time for themselves.

• Provide carers a voice in health, social care, and service planning.

• Support bereaved carers for three years after their loss.

Why It Matters

Many carers feel isolated and struggle with their own wellbeing. With an estimatedn120,000 carers in Hertfordshire, it’s vital they get the support they deserve.

Our Impact

• 23,415 carers received guidance last year.

• Over 200 young carers got intensive support.

• 24,000 carers benefit from our Carers’ Passport discounts.

"I'm grateful to my mentor and Carers in Hertfordshire for providing such valuable support. Knowing there's someone impartial and understanding to help me with my journey as a carer has been an enormous blessing. Whenever I received a call it cheered me up and reminded me that life isn't that bad, that there are people who care." — A bereaved carer
