This week may be Carers Week, but carers care all year round. If you would like to support us to reach and provide vital support for carers, you may wish to support us with raising funds.
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.
Your donation can help make life that little bit easier for a carer. It could offer a listening ear, provide useful advice at just the right time, or simply remind someone that they’re not alone.
Every £1 we receive helps 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.
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 and helping us raise vital funds.
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
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 in our communities, whilst raising awareness of caring in our communities.
Let us know what you are doing to Go Without.
