Carers UK has a long history and was formed from the merger of two carer organisations with roots going back to the 1960's. Carers UK was set up by carers themselves and to this day is still a member led organisation. Our members appoint the Trustees who must always be a majority of carers. Our members set our priorities and define our campaigns. Carers UK is the voice of carers.
