Our Vision
Unpaid carers of all ages are recognised, respected and valued and have opportunities to achieve their own goals in life.
Our Values
Compassion
We genuinely care. We approach our work with kindness, empathy and understanding, ensuring carers feel supported, valued, and respected in every interaction.
Commitment
We are determined to get the best outcomes for carers and we’re in it for the long haul. Carers can rely on the unwavering commitment of our dedicated team to provide consistent and reliable support.
Empowerment
We are dedicated to helping carers achieve their best. In a supportive and welcoming environment, we walk alongside carers, encouraging them to develop skills and face challenges with confidence and resilience.
Trust
We’ve been supporting carers in Essex for over thirty years. Carers are in safe hands with our expert staff who are part of the community and bring local knowledge and experience. We prioritise integrity, honesty, and reliability and we follow through on our promises to deliver real results.
Collaboration
We value teamwork and partnerships, working closely with other organisations, professionals, our staff and volunteers and, most importantly, carers themselves. Together, we provide well-rounded support to better meet the diverse needs of carers. Respect and non-judgmental attitudes guide our interactions, fostering a culture of inclusivity and mutual respect within our organisation and the wider community.
Action for Family Carers makes a positive difference to the lives of unpaid Carers including Young Carers.
