Building Carer Friendly Communities

Building Carer Friendly Communities is a practical insight report sharing what carers themselves told us about community, work and support during Carers Week 2026.

Based on survey responses from 69 carers, this resource explores what community means to carers, what they wish employers understood, the realities of balancing work and caring responsibilities, and the simple actions organisations can take to create more carer-friendly workplaces.

Includes survey findings, real quotes, practical reflections and a workplace action framework.
