We’re incredibly proud to announce our latest campaign #ThisCountsAsCare
On average 12,000 people a day become unpaid carers, we want to halve the time it takes them to recognise themselves as carers.
“If there was something I had to choose about never giving up, it would be this. It’s been a life-saver. I wonder if I would have reached 89 otherwise. I just wanted to give up really.”

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek is almost over, but movement remains just as important as ever.

Any activity is great and whatever works for you and those you care for is best.
