Unpaid carers save the UK state an estimated £530 million each day, and are vital to the friends and family members they support, as well as to the wider community.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected carers across the country. Our recent polling suggests that the figure for unpaid carers could now be as high as 13.6 million, with an estimated 4.5 million people literally starting to care overnight due to the impact of coronavirus on services and individuals.

This is an exciting time to join Carers UK as we enter our new strategic period, Vision 2025 taking us to our 60th anniversary.  Rather than producing a detailed five year plan we have developed an ambitious direction of travel, recognising the challenges of planning in the ongoing and uncertain environment created by COVID-19. We believe our flexible approach throughout 2020 enabled us to react quickly to the needs of carers, and by adopting a direction of travel, backed up with annual business plans, we will continue to meet the growing needs of carers.

Chasing the Stigma is a national mental health charity with big ambitions: to normalise and humanise mental health, prevent suicide, eradicate mental health stigma, and enable everyone to access clear pathways to mental health care and support locally.

We passionately believe in fundamentally changing the way people access mental health support across the UK, as well as educating the nation, to ensure everybody has the best chance when it comes to dealing with their mental health. We believe the best way of doing so is by adopting a person-focused approach, placing lived experience at the heart of everything we do.

The Hub of Hope is the biggest and most comprehensive mental health signposting tool of its kind, bringing together thousands of support services in one place for the first time, and revolutionising the way people interact with mental health services across the UK.
