Where your money goes

Every donation helps us support unpaid carers of all ages across Essex. Whether you’re giving £5 or £500, your generosity makes a positive difference to people who give so much of themselves to care for others. 

Here are just a few examples of how your money helps:

£10 
Helps us contact a carer who is feeling isolated or overwhelmed.

£20 
Funds an hour of one-to-one time with a dedicated Support Worker, giving a carer the chance to talk, be heard, and get vital help.

£25 
Covers the cost of a creative activity session for young carers – giving them time to relax, play, and just be kids.

£50
Pays for food, activities and a safe space for 20 young carers at one of our Young Carers Respite Clubs. 

£100
Provides a carer with a full wellbeing assessment, helping us understand their needs and offer the right support at the right time. 

£500
Will pay for a ‘Making Memory Trip’ for 20 young carers.

£1,000
Will pay for one full club session for 20 young carers

£6,000 
Will run a year of student support at one secondary school for 25 young carers

Every Pound Counts 

As a small local charity, we rely on the kindness of individuals, businesses and fundraisers to keep our services running. Your donation goes directly towards helping unpaid carers – from young children looking after a parent or sibling, to adults caring for a loved one with illness or disability. 

Thank you for standing with us – and for standing with carers.
