Personal support

Your card supports you in your caring role

Supporting you

We understand the important role you play by providing care and support to family members, friends or neighbours who are unable to care for themselves due to illness, disability, or aging. We also understand that providing this care can be a challenging and demanding role that can impact your physical, emotional, and financial well-being.

Cardholders get access to the Carers Card UK mobile app which provides even more support. The app is designed to be a one-stop resource, offering a variety of tools and services tailored to meet your unique needs as a caregiver.
