Caring Together Charity

Caring Together is a leading charity supporting carers of all ages across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Norfolk.  

At Caring Together our vision is a world with no unpaid carer in crisis, isolated or struggling alone. You can join us in working to make this vision a reality for people who are looking after a family member or friend.

There are over 150,000 unpaid carers across the region covered by the charity: Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Peterborough, and tens of thousands are caring alone behind closed doors. More than three in five of us will become an unpaid carer at some point in our life. We will look after a family member or friend who needs our help because of illness, disability, poor mental health or addiction. Despite how common caring is, many unpaid carers feel they are on their own.

Unpaid carers often find themselves plunged into a caring role with little warning, and feel completely overwhelmed by the heavy responsibilities they shoulder. Many are exhausted from looking after their husband, wife, partner, parent, sibling or child for hours every day, sometimes in addition to trying to hold down a job or bring up children.
