    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 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 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*.
