Share your story

As a carer, sharing your experience can help others – and make a difference.

Everyone’s experience is different but carers face many common issues. Your story will resonate with other carers and will help them realise they’re not alone. And it will improve everyone’s understanding of carers’ lives and the support they need. Stories can often help effect real change.

So we’d love to hear from you about your experience. We might then ask you to share your story in a number of ways.

On our website, as part of our Carer Stories
In our communications – printed and digital – such as leaflets, posters, social media or our Annual Report
In a press release – with the potential of going on to speak to newspaper, TV or radio journalists to share your story.

If you can share your story with the media, and are happy to talk about the work of Action for Caarers, we offer support, back-up, and, when possible, media training.

Please get in touch to find out more, email [email protected]

Or if you’re a young carer (under 18) we have some simple questions about you and your role, here. Thank you!
