Who we are

We are a charity with a mission to support unpaid carers of all ages in Solihull. We know the challenges that carers face because of their caring role. There can be huge demands on a carer’s time, health, physical and emotional well-being. Our job is to make sure that someone is looking after them. We are here to offer advice, information, training, emotional and practical support and much needed time out or respite. All of our services are free of charge.

Professionals

Education, health services and businesses can also do a lot to support carers in the community. In education: carers can be supported via the Young Carers in Schools programme. In health settings: carers can be supported via the GP register; and we can undertake awareness raising activities in your health setting whether it’s a hospital, surgery or pharmacy. We also help businesses to understand how they can support carers within the workplace and how to become carer-friendly employers

Donation stories

We are grateful to all our donors and fundraisers that help support unpaid carers across Solihull. The tenacity of some of our fundraisers is extraordinary – pupils from the local Eversfield School turned £5 into thousands for young carers in Solihull. We have enjoyed the continued support from local Solihull Lions and Rotary St Alphege too and countless donations from individuals—all this helps us to support carers.
