A welcome message from Michael

 

Thank you for joining Carers UK, and welcome to our supportive community and movement for change. Around 500 carers join Carers UK every month and we’re delighted to have you with us.

 

As Head of Carer Support, I wanted to let you know about the range of support we can offer you in your caring role:

You’ll receive regular updates about our work and useful information for carers by email. We’ll also send you a digital copy of Caring, our quarterly magazine packed with carers’ stories, news, features and information.

Our new online forum, Carers Connect, is available to Carers UK members. Chat with other carers and share your experiences as part of this supportive online community.  

If you want to change the way you hear from Carers UK or unsubscribe from our communications, or if you have any questions about your membership, please email membership@carersuk.org or call us on 020 7378 4997.
