Who it's for
There is no single kind of carer. CARER was designed, from the start, against six real carer situations — so that whoever you are, it meets you where you actually are.
Caring for an ageing parent while raising children and holding down a job — pulled apart, time-poor, and only able to feel any of it once everyone else is finally asleep. CARER is built for minutes, not sessions, and picks up exactly where you left off.
Walking the treatment rollercoaster beside a partner — being "the strong one," with your own fear tucked away where they can't see it. CARER is somewhere to put that fear down without being told it'll all be fine.
Loving your child completely, fighting the systems that are meant to help, and quietly carrying a grief that has no finish line. CARER holds that "both/and" — love and sorrow together — and never pushes you toward "closure."
Living with vigilance, stigma, and the fear of the next phone call — carrying love, fear, and anger all braided together. CARER gives that churn a safe, non-judging outlet, and never turns your feelings into something to manage for someone else's sake.
Helping look after someone at home while trying to be a young person too — often unseen, often without even the word for what you are. CARER offers recognition, a place for the resentment-and-love, and support that holds both parts of who you are.
CARER is for adults 18 and over. If you're under 18 and caring for someone, you deserve just as much support — see the signpost below.
When the caring ends, most support falls away — but you don't stop needing to be held. CARER doesn't disappear at that moment. It stays, holds the guilt of relief and the loss of the role, and remembers the whole story as something that mattered.
You don't have to fit one of these exactly. If you're an adult carer — 18 or over — CARER is for you.
CARER is built for adults 18 and over — but if you're younger and looking after someone at home, you deserve just as much support. These services are made for you:
Many people caring for someone don't think of themselves as "a carer" at all — the word can feel too formal, too clinical, too much. CARER doesn't need you to use it. If you're an adult looking after someone you love, quietly and often invisibly, you're the person this is built for.
CARER is a companion, not an emergency or medical service. If you or someone else needs urgent help, it's always one tap away, free, and works offline. See urgent support →
