What We Offer
Great news! All of our support for employers and carers groups is now delivered online, enabling more people to benefit and have the chance to share experiences with others.
The Covid pandemic has put a new spotlight on the vulnerabibility of older people and caused additional worries for their families. We are tailoring our support to help with this.
Both our popular workshop programme, and our new offer 'The Final 15' are available as webinars as well as face-to-face. With 6 complementary topics, 'The Final 15' is proving inspiring and thought-provoking in helping people to plan for final years.

Latest News
In the lead in to Grandparents day on 4th October we will be offering HR professionals a free taster webinar to showcase the support we offer to employers.
1 in 8 carers are employed and many give up work or reduce their hours because of the stresses and strains of balancing working life and caring.
Our workshops are designed to help them explore positive approaches and strategies to respond to the challenges of incorporating the needs of an elderly person in their lives.
Details of the free taster will follow soon, or email office@caring4eldersuk.org.uk to express an interest or discuss our support.
Opinion
As bank branches close and ATMs are withdrawn, carers face having to help older people with basic access to cash if they are reluctant or unable to bank online, an uncomfortable situation for both parties.
Which? has campaigned during COVID-19 to prevent the loss of facilities for those who need or prefer to use cash and our Director Hilary Cooper, is involved in the national debate - read about her research here.
Daily Life
Catch up with Betty and Liz - our mother and daughter blog about the ups and downs, fun and frustration of caring across the generations through the good times and the more challenging ones.
Our latest blog looks at how mulit-generational relationships have been affected by Coronavirus particularly where an older family member is living in a care facility.
