Just Giving - Campaign with us
We would be delighted if you would join us in raising awareness of unpaid carers and the vital role they play in our communities and across society.
We welcome you to join our Go Without campaign (below), or create your own! Your donations will support someone who is looking after a family member to feel less lonely, continue to work, take a break and be confident in their caring role.

Go Without Campaign
Our Go Without Campaign is in it’s second year and we want to ramp it up this year!
But, what is it all about?
Did you know?
​
The economic value of the support provided by unpaid carers in England and Wales is an estimated £162 billion per year.
Without carers, this would have a huge impact on everyone in society.
​
Carers UK say that; “Social Services and the NHS rely on carers’ willingness and ability to provide care. Without the support of unpaid carers, these systems would collapse.”
​
Yet very often it is carers who go without.
-
Carers go without a break
-
Carers go without sleep
-
Carers go without social connection
-
Carers go without their own health and wellbeing
-
Carers go without or have to juggle work and care
​
These are just a few examples of the value of caring and the impact it has on carers in a caring role.
​
This Carers Week, we are asking you to show your support by going without in support of carers.
​
What would you go without and donate to us?
​
Would you go without your favourite coffee?
Would you go without your lunch out this week?
Would you go without your trip out? The cinema, shopping, a meal with friends, spa, sports match?
Would you go without your car? Could you bike or walk to work?
Would you go without talking? A sponsored silence?
​
Go without, show your support and donate today!
These are just a few ideas, you are welcome to think of your own!
​
Go without as an individual, or get your friends, colleagues involved. We would love to see your creativity and innovative ideas!!
All donations will go towards helping unpaid carers get the support they need, whilst raising awareness of caring in our communities.

Why support us?
Every day, thousands of people dedicate their time to caring for someone they love.
It might be a partner supporting their spouse, a parent caring for a child, or a young person looking after a family member.
Caring can be a truly meaningful and fulfilling role – but it can also come with challenges. Many carers go without recognition, practical help, or someone to talk to.
By supporting Carers & Communities and Worcester Community Lottery, you can help make life that little bit easier for a carer.
We offer a range of carer support services and health and wellbeing services across Worcestershire.
We provide support for carers and the communities in which we live.
We need your help so we can continue to provide and even expand our services and the support we can offer carers and patients.
