In our 60th anniversary year, we are proud to celebrate working side by side with Wales’ 310,000 unpaid carers to make every area of their lives better. We are Wales’ only membership charity for unpaid carers, supporting nearly 5,000 members.
In 2025, unpaid carers in Wales need your support now more than ever. Each year Welsh unpaid carers save health and social care services £10.8 billion in replacement care costs.
Yet, despite the hours of caring and often gladly embraced self-sacrifice, a third of Welsh unpaid carers are now living in poverty, having to make choices between the basic needs of eating or heating that so many of us take for granted.
Caring can happen to anyone at any time. Nearly 70% of us will take on caring responsibilities at some point during our lives, no matter what other commitments we may have.
Will you join our 60th year anniversary celebrations, and help us raise money to continue to support Wales’ unpaid carers?
