Carer identification
Show that you care for someone while out and about. This proof can be invaluable in various situations, such as at hospitals, schools, attractions, shops, or even during emergencies.
In the case of an emergency
Make sure the person you care for is taken care of in an emergency. Your card can include up to two emergency contact telephone numbers which can be called if you are taken ill or injured. The QR code on our card can also provide access to your 'Carer's Emergency Plan'*.
* Creating a 'Carers Emergency Plan' is an optional feature
Personal support
Get the vital support you need in your caring role. Our app includes a catalogue of support information; everything from guides to best practices. You can also create your very own 'Self-help care plan' for daily support.
Your Carer Circle
Our ‘Carer Circle’ tool makes managing care easier by allowing you to organise notes, tasks, appointments, and medication lists while monitoring the wellbeing of the person you support. You can also invite friends and family to join your circle, fostering communication and sharing the journey together.
* Creating a 'Carer Circle' is an optional feature
Wellbeing Hub
Take care of your physical and mental health with our Wellbeing Hub. It’s a valuable resource offering expert advice, engaging videos, free events, and audiobooks - all designed to support and enhance your overall wellbeing.

If I receive carers allowance can I still have a card?
Yes, you can. Our card/app is available for anyone who provides care for someone whether they receive carers allowance or not. What is Carers Allowance?
Do I need to provide any documentation?
No. We appreciate that the majority of carers (approx. 90%) do not have any official documentation stating that they are a carer. As part of our registration process, you will be asked a series of questions which will enable us to validate your suitability for the card.
Can young carers have this card?
Yes, our card is available for young carers. Any carer over the age of 16 can order their card. For those younger than 16 we ask that a person over 16 applies on their behalf. This is required due to our GDPR policies.
How much is the card?
Our card costs just £8 and is valid for the period of 2 years. This includes our free app that provides access to hundreds of online discounts, plus additional features, tools and services designed to support you in your role as a carer.
Why do you have an app?
Our app is the perfect companion to our card. It's a great way to access your digital ID card and all the features available, such as, discounts, wellbeing hub, carer circle, and much more. *You can also access your account online via a pc or mobile browser.
