Supporting Carers
Across the country, carers who look after the most vulnerable in our society struggle with demanding workloads, but receive little thanks and little-to-no pay. From a lack of funding, challenging work, unsociable hours, to personal struggles taking place out of work, those in the care sector face varied struggles, and we want to help.
We have commissioned independent research to find out how our discounts can support key workers during the cost of living crisis and improve recruitment and retention in the care sector. Through our research, we discovered that Discounts for Carers members can save £2,262 annually across various categories, including fashion, travel, household bills and much more.
