How your fundraising could help
Here are a few examples of how your fundraising in aid of Carers UK could help make life better for carers:
- £35 could help towards providing tailored information to a carer in desperate need of advice or a listening ear.
- £50 could provide a Carers UK volunteer with materials to support carers struggling in their community.
- £100 could provide two Carers UK Helpline workers with essential technical resources, so that when somebody needs help, they can quickly pinpoint what is available.
