Carers Card

Carer identification

When supporting someone you can access certain benefits, information, support and advice. If you’re someone that provides care then it can be extremely useful to provide proof of this whenever it’s required. This may be at a hospital, school, attraction, shop or even in an emergency.

Although our carers card provides identification it also supports you in a variety of other ways. Everything from wellbeing to discounts through our dedicated app.

My Support

Research has shown that having a strong support system has many positive benefits, such as higher levels of well-being, better coping skills, and a longer and healthier life.

Support in the form of information is essential. Having useful and appropriate information, can really make a difference.

As a card holder your account includes a catalogue of useful information. Everything from guides to best practices.

Your Carer Circle

Our 'Carer Circle' tool allows you to create a circle of care for the person you look after.

It helps you organise your care by allowing you to add notes, tasks, appointments, medication lists as well as monitoring the wellbeing of the person you care for.

If you share the responsibility of caring with someone else then you can invite them into your Carer Circle. It makes the task of sharing responsibility easier by helping you work as a team. Even if that other person isn’t heavily involved in a caring role it’s still an excellent way for them to be kept up to date.

* Creating a 'Carer Circle' is an optional feature
