What we do

We support unpaid carers to access the help they need. We raise awareness through information stalls, training for professionals, and by making sure carers’ voices are heard in local planning and decision-making.

With a carer’s consent, professionals can register them for free support from York Carers Centre, including advice, activities, emergency planning and updates. Use the form to refer carers who live in York or care for someone who does.
