Providing care to the carers, mental health support for those who care for our most vulnerable.

Caring for the carers

Care workers are at the heart of our communities, providing much needed support to some of the most vulnerable people.

We recognise that it's a stressful and often emotional role, with higher levels of poor mental health experienced by care workers across the country.

The support I recieved from Carecoins was invaluable.

Nadia

Not having to wait weeks to speak to someone really made a difference. It felt like someone genuinely cared and wanted to help.

Harry

The training was excellent, and I feel like I can better support my colleagues with their mental health in a way I didn't know how to before.

Kwame

Just being able to pick up the phone and speak to an expert when I wasn't sure what to do next was so comforting. Having that safety net is an amazing feeling.

Care work doesn’t stop, and having access to professional support at any point is a vital contribution we’re looking to make to the care sector.
