    Adoption UK  helps to make adoptions work and promotes loving and supportive relationships between children and their adoptive families. It provides independent support, information and advice on good practice to all concerned with adoption. In particular, it offers a wealth of relevant experience from generations of adoptive families to prospective and established adopters and to all those who work with them.

    Advocare  was set up by a small group of carers and former carers to help unpaid family caregivers. Run by carers for carers, Advocare - Caring for Carers is as far as we know the only charity of its kind in the country that enables carers to have a free voice.

    Anyone over the age of eighteen who is or has been an unpaid carer looking after a frail, sick or disabled loved one may become a member of Advocare.

    Bettercaring  is a comprehensive care home search engine and a source of vital information on care for the elderly and people with learning disabilities

    Care Co-ordination Network UK

      (CCNUK) is a networking organisation promoting and supporting key working for disabled children and their families in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. CCNUK is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee, with its head office in York and national offices in Scotland and Wales.

    Carers Federation Ltd was established in 1992 and supports carers and the people for whom they care. The organisation provides a wide range of services and useful information, and is managed by a board of carers, former carers and people who use services.

    Care Homes

    Today  takes the pressure away from searching for care. We have a vast resource of care knowledge spanning every care home, nursing home and residential home across each specific county. This helps us match your exact care requirements with the most suitable care facility.

    Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of all health and adult social care in England.

    Our aim is to make sure better care is provided for everyone, whether that’s in hospital, in care homes, in people’s own homes, or elsewhere.

    Caring with Confidence aims to make a positive difference to carers and the people they care for, by improving their health and well-being. We do this by providing support for carers through sessions, designed by carers for carers, where they can learn skills, get advice and information, talk and share experiences.

    Carers UK is the voice of carers. Carers provide unpaid care by looking after an ill, frail or disabled family member, friend or partner.

    Carers give so much to society yet as a consequence of caring, they experience ill health, poverty and discrimination.

    Carers UK is an organisation of carers fighting to end this injustice. We will not stop until people recognise the true value of carers’ contribution to society and carers get the practical, financial and emotional support they need.

    • Carers Benefits Carers are entitled to Carers Allowance and could also be entitled other benefits from the government too.

    The Dementia Centre

      PSS is a dynamic charity which has beeen pioneerring new ways to support people within their communities since 1919. We develop internationally acclaimed innovation in social care to create tomorrow's care solution.

We have a team of around a thousand fully trained staff supported by more than 700 volunteers all working to enhance the dignity and independence of some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.

    The Princess Royal Trust for Carers  was created on the initiative of HRH The Princess Royal in 1991. At that time people caring at home for family members or friends with disabilities and chronic illnesses were scarcely recognised as requiring support.

    The Relatives & Residents Association  exists for older people needing, or living in, residential care and the families and friends left behind.

    Relatives often need a listening ear to cope with feelings of guilt about their perceived inability to carry on caring. They may want to know how to get help in understanding the complex rules and regulations about paying for care or to complain about the quality of care their loved ones are receiving.

    Vitalise  has been providing short breaks for disabled people and carers at accessible Centres in the UK since 1963*.

    We firmly believe that disabled people should have the same rights, freedoms, responsibilities and quality of life as those without disabilities
